TASTING NOTES

Nose: Intense peat smoke paired with spicy oak, followed by strong aromas of fresh malt sweets and ripe dark fruits.

Palate: Complex and round with clear notes of peat and malt, then again the dark fruits, especially plums and cherries, paired with chocolate and toffee.

Finish: Long on the finish with lots of peat and oak wood, the fruits and chocolate are accompanied by barley malt.
