700ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Caramel and vibrant citrus open on the nose, delicately wrapped in Octomore’s dry, earthy peat smoke. Spicy aniseed, vanilla and smooth custard follow, with tropical fruit, geranium and a hint of ginger complementing the sweet malt.
Palate: Immediate heat on the palate is balanced with sweet dry malt and earthy smoke. A refreshing medley of mango, banana and apricot jam cuts through the heady peat, beautifully rounded with vanilla custard and toffee. A drop of water allows the smoke to open and brings subtle marine notes and warm sand.
Finish: Peat smoke, vanilla and sweet charred oak settle on the finish, with a fresh marine crispness.
