Nose

A dextrous aroma, beautifully sculpted. The peat is even and forms merely a backdrop; in the foreground are rose petals, apple and grape.

Palate

A soft, controlled explosion of peat that reaches all parts of the palate.

Finish

Only now some age and oak appear, drying out the easy sweetness of the peat malt and grape.

Comment

Brilliantly balanced and a fabulous addition to the rich tapestry of Islay malts.
