Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
The nose opens with an intriguing notes of earth and musk which pierce through sensational, saline chorus. The next voice we hear entices us with complex notes of soft vanilla and lifting fruitiness, a voice which sings ever louder on the palate. An explosion of myrtle follows, alongside notes of juniper berries and a sweet, creamy bee-pollen character which melts the initial austerity away. The sweet notes soften and smoothen the body of this whisky, and the smoky notes support the structure: a beautiful synthesis of smoke and creaminess. Notes of heather swaying in a sea breeze caress the senses, helping us to lose ourselves in our imaginations, curled up on a beach next to a fire that slowly goes out.
