Description

De couleur or à reflets verts, le nez fumé est marqué par des notes de tabac. La bouche fraîche et huileuse est très fumée, maltée et iodée. La finale longue et salée revient sur la tourbe.

Tasting notes

Nose : balanced, deep. Peat smoked chocolate, candied lemon and grapefruit, camphor. Remains true to its Islay heritage with sea spray and smoked fish. Roasted coffee and pipe tobacco.

Palate : firm, lively. Initially spiced with black and white pepper and clove before smoke and ash take over. Subtle liquorice in the mid-palate, becoming earthier and more saline as it unfurls. Chalk, fresh apples, pears and citrus fruits.

Overall : longue, cendrée. De l’herbe fraîchement coupée et de la menthe verte témoignent de son caractère herbacé. Puis, des racines de gentiane et de gingembre l’inscrivent profondément dans le sol d’Islay. La rétro olfaction est partagée entre la tourbe, la fumée et les fruits blancs. Le verre vide est empyreumatique (bitume, eucalyptus).
