Description
Nose
Opens with aromas of maple syrup and molasses, hinting at the sweetness imparted by the charred barrels. Hints of vanilla, toffee, and butterscotch add layers of complexity. A subtle whisper of peat smoke lingers in the background, a unique touch for a bourbon.
Palate
The first sip is a revelation. The cask strength bottling delivers a powerful punch of flavor, but it’s surprisingly balanced. The sweetness from the nose translates beautifully, with notes of honey and vanilla leading the charge. Hints of melon and citrus zest add a touch of zing and complexity. The signature Islay peat smoke emerges subtly, complementing the other flavors rather than overpowering them.
Finish
The finish is clean and crisp, leaving your palate refreshed and wanting more. A touch of lingering sweetness from the honey and vanilla fades slowly, accompanied by a gentle reminder of the peat smoke.
