Reproduced from calendar/2025-12-05.qmd (Whisk(e)y Advent 2025).
- Nose: Intensely flavoured, peat smoke with iodine and seaweed and a rich, deep sweetness.
- Palate: Dry peat smoke fills the palate with a gentle but strong sweetness, followed by sea and salt with touches of wood.
- Finish: A long, elegant peat-filled finish with lots of salt and seaweed.
- Other Notes: “Best enjoyed from a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little still water. Room-temperature water can bring out the hidden aromas and flavours of the whisky, making it more mellow and easy to drink.”
