Nose: Aromas of warm and sweet wort are evident right away, followed closely by a mild and biscuity maltiness. Peat smoke emerges, accompanied by a sweet stone fruit medley, featuring ripe apricots, peaches, and pears drizzled with honey. Candied lemon peels introduce citrusy notes, balanced by hints of caramel, honey, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream.
Palate: On the palate, oak notes come forward first, followed closely by an intense presence of peat. Floral hints of gorse and honeysuckle rise above Islay barley malt, complementing the rich and creamy flavors of porridge and cereal. The combination of French oak structure, the smoothness of vanilla, and the caramel from American oak harmoniously balance the palate.
Finish: Malted barley and earthy peat dominate the finish, followed by persistent hints of barley sugar. Caramel and vanilla add a final touch of sweetness and roundness.
