Tasting Notes:
Soft coastal peat and sea salt open alongside aromas of honey, orchard fruit and gentle oak spice. The palate reveals layers of heather smoke, citrus zest, vanilla cream and toasted malt balanced by subtle pepper, dried herbs and maritime salinity. A long and elegant finish carries lingering smoke, oak warmth and delicate sweetness, highlighting the refined complexity developed through two decades of maturation.
