Nose
A burst of intense smoky fruit, peat infused with zesty lemon and lime, wrapped in waxy dark chocolate. Bold menthol and black pepper slice through the sweet smoke, followed by tarry ropes and graphite.
Palate
Sweet vanilla counterbalanced with lemon and lime, followed by surging Ardbeg smoke. Oily and creamy mouthfeel with notes of brine, tar, and a hint of pepper spice.
Finish
Long and glorious, with sea salted caramel and beach bonfire smoke. Lingering tarry espresso, aniseed, toasted almonds, and traces of soft barley and fresh pear.
