15 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh citrus opens the whisky, with orange zest and grapefruit lifted by dried hay, soft vanilla and a hint of clove.

Palate

Smoke and sea salt lead the way, followed by cracked black pepper, warming spice and a subtle sweetness. The extra time in cask brings a fuller, more rounded texture and deeper complexity.

Finish

Long, smoky and satisfying, with lingering savoury notes, coastal salinity and a clean edge of sweetness.
