The nose is clearly marked by sea spray and peat and detects hints which are both medicinal and fruity. A very nice balance between both rather different types of smells seem to reign. After a while, some cut grass whiffs come in addition of this already pleasant nose and gives it all its complexity.
In the mouth, peat merges with fruits (green apple) and give a nice and contrasted impression of a discrete acidity mixed with a light bitterness, a refined woody hint.
The finish is long and keeps the memory of the discrete bitterness and the peat.

Cask #518
Colour: bright, clear apple juice
A very fresh nose, not dominated by peat, sea salt combined with a surprisingly clear fruity approach. Ripe pears, bitter almonds and a fresh breeze from the sea in a very well balanced relation.
On the palate the full peat shows up, mixed with a sublime sweetness.
Long and warm finish, the fruits disappear, the peat lingers on and on. Another great contribution to the revival of this a bit underrated brand.
