Tasting Notes:
Rich peat smoke intertwines with dark chocolate, charred oak and earthy maritime notes. Layers of smoked citrus, leather, roasted nuts and cooked fruits develop alongside subtle sherry sweetness and oily texture. The palate is powerful yet refined, delivering warming spice, iodine and lingering coastal salinity before a long, smoky finish balanced by elegant oak and gentle sweetness.
