Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet smell like chocolate and comfortable peat incense. Mature and mellow unique long-term aged whisky smell.

Palate: A gorgeous and rich flavour reminiscent of a dry, smoky peat taste and ripe fruit. The rich body of malt spreads slowly.

Finish: Complex and powerful peat reverberation continues.
