Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: The nose is initially quite tight: a drop of water helps to tease out the aromas, giving peat smoke paired with a backbone of citrussy fruit loaf. |
Taste |
Distillery: The palate is pleasingly thick, showing coastal peat, dried fruit, mango, figs and spiced melon |
Finish |
Distillery: The lingering finish - marrying Islay's peat and Italy's sweet, spicy fruit notes ensure you'll be back for another dram |
