Nose Beautiful opening on a smoky marine combination of peat, seaweed & charred oak from the Bourbon barrels which work in harmony with the wine influence. Underneath it all lies a briny sea breeze, and this allows the red wine to add a halo of red fruits without detracting from the smoky peat influence. A dash of water is required to fully and truly experience the taste!
Palate It’s an absolute delight. All the aromatics can be found on the palate, particularly the red wine which calms the peat fire influence. While very potent, this Islay gem walks a different path. A fruitier, more grainy taste which makes the flavours from the malted barley uphold its Islay heritage despite the high alcohol. The wine flavour is working well giving this spirit a DNA that is seldom experienced.
