This complex and memorable Islay single malt has an amber hue and a roasted grain aroma plus a bit of peat smoke. The velvety palate offers an instant hit of tobacco and peat smoke, finessed with maple and vanilla. A splash of olive brine at the end makes the mouth water.

A robust puff of smoke and tobacco leaf are met marvelously by sweeter, softer notes— lemon pound cake, cinnamon-sugar toast, red berries, and pomegranate. There’s tremendous char on the palate, but it’s balanced by a beautiful sweetness that’s akin to mint tea and campfire smoke. The finish has a hint of meatiness, plenty of pepper, coffee beans, and iodine, and it all comes together exceedingly well.
