Nose
Captivating aromas of apricots, soft fruits, stewed gooseberries, Savlon antiseptic cream, dentists' mouthwash, and sweet pastry. With water, fresh, mineral-like notes, bath salts, spa scents, swimming pools, linseed oil, and honey-roast smoked ham emerge.
Palate
Surprising sweetness harmonizes with a peaty punch, traces of eucalyptus, and plenty of smoke.
Finish
Medium to long, a testament to the interplay between sweetness and smoke, leaving a lasting impression of Islay's elemental forces.
