Taster

Nose: Clean and very open. Salty. Rockpools in the morning light. Peat oils and a dried lavender like fragrance. Tarry with water. Light all the way.

Palate: Purple peat smoke rising from the beach. Soft and layered with a little vanilla smoothness before pepper burnt timbers and creosote.

Finish: Light salty.

Comment: Lovely balance. Delicate in its own way.

Score: 8.1

Taster

Nose: Hits you with that big Islay peat smoke. A little light vanilla mixed with salt spray.

Palate: Quite gentle given the nose. More aromatic peat and that sweet vanilla note comes through.

Finish: Drying and salty.

Comment: Best savoured on a beach during a long autumn evening – preferably on Islay.

Score: 8.6
