Nose: The peat smoke delicately spices the air, paired with creamy vanilla and a touch of dried fruits. From the very first encounter, its allure is undeniable – a harmonious balance of fruit, malt, and peat.

Taste: Beyond a medium body, it unfolds with vanilla, subtle soot, and toasted oak. Then, like a second act, malt and soft peat rise to the occasion.

Finish: Spanning a medium length, it starts slightly dry, takes a notable dip, and gracefully leaves you with gentle flavors of rowan berries, strawberries, and orchard fruits, all underscored by a fizzy peppery tingle and a final note of malt.

Comment: A delicate dance of flavors.
