Peaty whiskies from Scotland’s west coast and charred barrels are responsible for the intensity of this underappreciated Johnnie Walker gem. Deep, velvety layers of sweet peat with beach barbecue smoke, heather, smoked citrus peel, soot, clove, and dried apricot on the nose. The palate offers dried orchard fruit, pepper, vanilla, creamy caramel, zesty orange, and dense peat smoke, leaving a smoky finish of clove, leather, and dried vine fruit.
