Nose - Heather Honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee bonbon. Very subtle hints of peat smoke.
Palate - Creamy vanilla spice gives way to more overt smoky charcoal notes, especially with the addition of water. Smoke doesn’t dominate and is balanced by the sweet honey and spice flavours.
Finish - Full bodied, silky mouth feel with a dry, tangy and lingering aftertaste, coupled with delicious spice notes.

Nose: A fresh sea breeze with salty notes leads the way, followed by soft medicinal peat smoke. Underneath lie hints of lemon zest, roasted almonds and a touch of wet stone.
Mouth: Full-bodied and powerful with a rich, oily texture. Smoke and sweet vanilla are beautifully balanced by roasted malt, black pepper and a hint of citrus fruit. A touch of menthol adds a refreshing twist.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, subtle spice and a mineral, slightly bitter edge that fades gracefully.
Nose: Round, subtly smoky, creamy caramel, anise, molasses and date.
Mouth: Soft, creamy, syrupy and suave. Notes of caramel, anise, orange, smoked tea, sweet spices (nutmeg and cinnamon), subtle cigar smoke and a very unusual aroma of grilled artichoke.
Nose: Charcoal, chocolate and spice. Deep smouldering charred peat notes layered with a wash of maritime brine. Sweet and citrusy; vanilla, lemon zest and butterscotch. A hint of cinnamon spice, plums and dates draws you in and invites you to take a sip.
Palate: A roar of intense peaty characters which tingle and warms the palette, intermingled with notes of roasted cocoa beans and bitter dark chocolate. As the rich phenolic characters subside, a tangy fruitiness comes to the fore with the introduction of blackberry, plum, and gooseberry notes with indulgent characters of a crème brûlée.
Finish: Long-lasting and drying, with elongated notes of iodine, leather and sooty chimney smoke
Nose: Smoke and peat typical of the distillery, very balsamic, with notes of camphor and medicinal herbs, damp earth and leather.
Taste: Licorice, full-bodied, powerful, a little vegetal and tannic. Almost a little sweet, but a drop of water makes it immediately dry and reveals a fruitier character (orange and cherry) that complements the exuberant peat smoke and earthy notes.
Finish: Intense with notes of ash, soot and licorice. A note of eucalyptus.

Finish : Long, warming, and malty with citrus peel, soft herbal notes, and lingering sweetness.
