Nose
Opens fresh, salty, and clean, developing to sweet malt dried over peat with citrus fruits, sweet barley grain, and hints of vanilla and soft smoke. Medicinal and sooty peat with a rich maritime character, pear, green apple, and lemon peel.
Palate
Slightly oily texture, briny, ashy on arrival with pepperiness and a touch of tobacco. Notes of ash, sweet tar, beaches, smoking chimneys, and creamy peat with vanilla, caramel fudge, and a metallic note.
Finish
Medium to long, somewhat drying, with black pepper, tarry, slightly antiseptic notes. Replicates the palate with salty, tangy liquorice, smoke, bonfire ashes, and a phenolic quality, closing on a sweeter, vanilla-heavy note.
