STEP 1 · THE NOSE

Bring the glass to your nose slowly. The first wave is unmistakably Islay — a bonfire on a sea-sprayed shore. Underneath the smoke, sweeter notes surface: dried fruit, a whisper of vanilla, the salted-caramel edge of charred oak. Let it sit; the peat softens into something almost floral.

STEP 2 · THE PALATE

Take a small sip and hold it. Waves of sweet peat smoke roll across the tongue, chased by rich dried fruit, espresso and sea salt. The texture is thick, almost oily — the mark of its age. Notice how the smoke never overwhelms: it is balanced by a deep, sherried sweetness.
