Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Bold and smoky with a characteristic maritime influence. There’s a strong aroma of peat smoke, brine, and seaweed, alongside notes of black pepper, citrus zest, and a subtle sweetness of honey. The nose is also complemented by hints of vanilla and malted barley.

• Taste: Medium-bodied with a rich combination of flavors. The initial palate offers a smoky burst of peat and salt, quickly followed by a warmth of black pepper and a touch of spice. There are notes of dried fruit, citrus fruits like orange and lemon, and a slight sweetness of honey and toffee. The peat flavor is intense but balanced with the maritime saltiness and subtle vanilla undertones.

• Finish: Long, warming, and slightly dry, with lingering notes of peat smoke, pepper, and salt. There’s a slight sweetness that remains on the tongue, leaving a satisfying, complex finish with just the right balance of spice and smoke.
