Tasting Notes
NOSE: A floral element, reminiscent of elderflower and heather, introduces this dram. There are notes of vanilla and custard creams and a confectionery note akin to foam bananas.
PALATE: Notes of cocoa nibs and Iberico ham are introduced on the palate, paired an earthy peat smoke influence. The development of a tropical note comes through in hints of pineapple and coconut.
FINISH: The peat smoke lingers in the finish along with a digestive biscuit note.
