Tasting notes

NOSE: The nose of this delicately peated island malt whisky is initially lightly sweet before a pleasingly dry, herbal aspect plays out alongside the signature woodsmoke.

PALATE: On the palate, the character opens up considerably to deliver compelling, luscious notes of tropical and charred fruit, with the peat character ever-present as a savoury backbone.
