Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
stunningly herbal, leafy and earthy sherry, full of salted almonds, green walnut liqueur, verbena, bone marrow, wormwood, celery salt, camphor and resinous hardwoods. One of those aromas where you aren’t too sure what comes from peat, what comes from sherry and what comes purely from distillate, a perfect fusion of influences and forces. Stunning herbal qualities continue to emerge, along with more medicinal aspects and this persistently beautiful, earthy, drying, deep peat note. With water: becomes astonishingly herbal and complex, really a whole herb garden on display, with dried exotic fruits, bone-dry peat smoke, earth, roots, vegetable stocks and salt cured game meats. Totally defeats you
restaurant Palate
another level still! Totally stunning old style peat smoke, tar, camphor, pinecones full of resins, treacle with sea salt, natural tar liqueurs, herbal cough syrup – the list goes on and on. But really this is all about total power and force of personality, of a cohesive and highly singular personality. With water: brilliant, tense, salty, peaty, immensely coastal and yet also deeply earthy, thick and dense in texture. A masterpiece
timer Finish
extremely long and utterly glorious; cavernous and echoing with myriad peat flavours
