Tasting Notes
Appearance
Rich golden amber, reflecting its long maturation in American oak casks
Aroma
The aroma is complex and inviting, with notes of honey, vanilla, and caramel from the American oak.
Taste
On the palate, expect a smooth and creamy texture. Flavors of oak-derived sweetness, such as toffee, butterscotch, and baking spices, blend with fruity notes like dried apricots and pineapple. The peat smoke is well-integrated, adding depth and a touch of earthiness.
Aftertaste
The finish is long and warming, with a balance of sweet oak, lingering smoke, and hints of spices. There may be a subtle maritime character and coastal influences, typical of Islay whiskies, that add complexity to the finish.
