An Islay classic that balances light coastal smoke with honeyed citrus—a refined introduction to island peat.
Description
This twelve-year expression offers a gentle, maritime peat profile framed by bright citrus and soft honeyed notes. It’s approachable yet distinctive, showcasing the subtleties of Islay character without overpowering the palate.
Delicately peated and well-rounded, it’s a versatile dram for many occasions.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Light smoke and fresh citrus with floral honey.
- Palate: Smooth honey and citrus layers beneath a gentle peat smokiness and dry oak.
- Finish: Clean, slightly briny finish with lingering peat and citrus notes.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
Its delicate balance of smoke and sweetness makes it a go-to Islay single malt for those who want peat with nuance rather than intensity.
Perfect For
- Those transitioning into peaty whiskies
- Pairing with seafood or smoked dishes
- Quiet evening sipping
