Bottled at 40%, it’s designed to be bold, approachable, and perfect for sipping or mixing—ideal for those curious about peat without being overwhelmed.
Nose Aromatic and rich, with notes of charred orange peel, honeycomb, dried herbs and wood smoke. Underneath, soft malt, toasted spice and a subtle hint of brine.
Palate Smooth and warming, the palate delivers gentle peat smoke balanced by creamy caramel, roasted nuts, and a touch of oak spice. Mid-palate citrus and sweet malt give it brightness, while the finish is mellow and smoky with a savoury edge.
