NOSE
Powerful peat-smoke with just a hint of sea-water saltiness, fresh oysters, and a citrus sweetness.
BODY
Full.
PALATE
A rich dried-fruit sweetness with clouds of smoke and strong barley-malt flavours, warming and intense. Peppery at the back of the mouth.
FINISH
Huge, long, warming and peppery in the finish with an appetising sweetness.
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points - Wonderfully smoky with waves of dark sugars and treacle breaking baking rich malt and waves of wild herbs and heather. The palate opens sweet and complex with toasted malt notes. Incredibly viscous with great vibrancy. The perfect match of maturity and y (Mar 2012)
