Nose
A muscular nose with wood smoke, unmistakeable peat and fresh pineapple. Behind the growl there are more delicate notes of pear and lime. Citrus notes with a background of peat and a puff of smoke immediately apparent. Sweet cookies, gooseberry jam, salty butter, cold herbal tea (with peppermint), apple sauce.
Palate
Spice, Charred Oak, Citrus, Smoke and Chocolate. A robust dram with the typical orchard fruits of Arran coming to the fore over a layer of toasted brioche and red berries. Intensely with that high ABV right of the bat and cold peat. Then it becomes acidic like lemon peel and slowly more sweet.
Finish
A lingering peat is married with a custardy vanilla note. Long and sweetly malty with accents of peat, vanilla, honey and spice. Vanilla: Seaweed: Sweet: Maritime Notes.
