Nose
Sweeter than its younger sibling. Added wine notes for sure. Feels more sweet and the earth celler is not as dry. Lovely chocolate notes. Wet leaves - rain soaked forest in the late Autumn. Perhaps a little green with time. Opens beautifully on notes of crisp sweet barley and oak tannins, then the rich plump aromas of the grapes evolve, disarming, inviting and bringing fruit overtures to the senses. The richness of the grapes, succulent and sweet underpinning the quality of the Islay barley and the mellowness of the oak.
Palate
Full bodied. The red wine finish certainly makes its mark on the palate. It feels sweeter, more fruity and more wine like than its sibling. Very sweet fruit compote, served with dried fruits as garnish, and several glasses of old, dark fortified wine on the side. At 14 years of age the spirit is robust and full of passion. Detects marine influence which gives a light hint of lemon and grapefruit, bringing a beautiful contrast to the red fruit notes of the wine casks. The fruitiness of the semi dried grapes is the perfect foil for the marine influence of the Sea. The cereal sweet Islay barley in harmony with the oaks ensures that the most elegant of Islays' amazing spirit has gone where no dram has gone before.
Finish
Medium to long finish. Soft pepper notes and hints of more exotic spices. Fizzy sweetness. Dark chocolate. Hints of greener notes towards the end. Warm, smooth and mellow. Long lingering berry fruit - dry and woody.
