Nose Stewed dark and dried fruits, a hint of blueberries, black olives and pickled walnuts lead with plenty of sea salt. Camphor, dusty oak and a little herbal liqueur element add depth.
Palate Sweet Sherry shines initially: seedless raisins, blood orange and plum compote with hazelnuts and brown sugar in support. Sooty notes, tannic antique wood and drying nutmeg complete the bittersweet palate.
Finish Cognac-soaked sultanas and a touch of menthol tobacco linger.
Overall Classic Islay sea and smoke blends with a Port from your grandparents’ old drinks cabinet.
