TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Profoundly aromatic — gentle peat smoke, caramelised dried fruit, antique leather, dark chocolate, vanilla, polished oak, sea salt, and warm baking spice — extraordinarily mature and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Velvety and concentrated — sweet smoke, dark caramel, dried fig, sherried oak, dark cocoa, leather, espresso, gentle salinity, and warm spice — full-bodied with extraordinary depth.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering peat, dried fruit, dark caramel, sherried oak, gentle leather, sea salt, and a slow warming spice depth fading gracefully — refined, contemplative, and unforgettable.
ABV: 46.5% ABV
