Nose: Sweet honey blends with smoky notes of peat and iodine.
Palate: Opening flavours of subtle vanilla and oak spice are complemented by the sweetness of barley sugar and exotic fruits. Then the robust peat smoke comes through with hints of pomegranate and spices caramel, with a hint of leather.
Finish: Long and lingering with a dry smoky finish.

The long, lingering dry-smoky finish is the clearest draw here: the nose pairs sweet honey with peat smoke and iodine. On the palate, subtle vanilla and oak spice meet barley sugar and exotic fruits before robust peat smoke returns alongside pomegranate and leather. That move from sweetness to smoke gives the whisky a clear arc, while the long finish should suit anyone who values lingering character.
