Caramel and a hint of campfire smoke introduce this single malt Scotch. Adding water coaxes drier oak and cocoa powder tones, fading into an orange peel exhale with a final puff of smoke.

Forest floor, dried leaves, and some light char on the nose, with hints of charcoal, drying oak tannins, and emerging notes of vanilla and banana. A sweet and lightly spiced palate, with a bit of minerality, peach, apricot, and honeyed fruits. Very full and flavorful on the finish, with a light sweetness of brown sugar, dark chocolate, and chile powder. It’s a bit light overall at 40%, but very well put together and delicious.
