Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright Red Gold.
Nose: At bottling strength the aroma seems quite closed giving only a rich, sweet scent but a touch of water releases all the multitude of different flavors. The initial sweet, sherry sweetness is quickly followed by the time honoured Islay peat tang. After this opening burst of flavor there is a smooth fruit ripeness that complements the tang of salt in the background.
Body: Rich round and full.
Palate: The burst of peat that fills the mouth is quickly restrained by a sherry sweetness that slowly develops into spicy apple fruitiness.
Finish: Very long and warming leaving a distinct tang of Islay.
