The palate delivers a rich interplay of biscuity malt and smoked spices, layered with orchard fruit and honey for balance and intrigue. A long, satisfying finish of nutmeg and walnut lingers, leaving an elegant and memorable impression.

The entry is smooth and slightly creamy, with a surprising depth of flavour. Sweet malt and caramelised sugar dance on the tongue, complemented by a touch of orchard fruits - ripe apples and pears. The peat influence emerges gently, adding layers of earthy smoke that intertwine seamlessly with notes of oak and a hint of coastal brininess. Medium-long and satisfying, with the hint of peat smoke lingering alongside a final flourish of dried fruit and a whisper of dark chocolate.
