Nose
Full aroma of peat smoke, with interwoven notes of seaweed, burning leaves, leather, and fudge.
Palate
Medium in body, with a slight oily texture. Powerful and evolving in flavor, with great depth. It begins somewhat sweet up front with notes of vanilla and toffee, followed by a peat smoke explosion. Lingering notes of seaweed, oak, salt and pepper add complexity.
Finish
Finally, the whisky becomes slightly sweet again, with lingering smoke.
