From The Bottler

  • Flavor Profile (Legacy): Lightly Peated
  • “Tasting Panel Notes: The neat nose suggested to us 80 shilling ales infused with cocoa nibs, very gentle background peat smoke and lovely notes of candied citrus fruits, floral smoke and menthol vibes. When we added water we found pollens, lightly smoked apples, smouldering leaves and roasted pistachios. The neat palate opened with big notes of liquorice, cherry cola syrup, marzipan and spiced fruit chutneys. The peat still gently bubbled underneath. Reduction brought out lemon curd, smoked beers, treacle, crème brûlée and a lovely dry, earthy smokiness in the aftertaste. This was matured in a new oak barrel for four years before being transferred to a first fill marsala barrique.”

On The Label

  • “Tasting Notes: An ethereal, gentle peat smoke weaves its way between various weighty fruity and spicy notes. Elegant and captivating to sip.”
