Official tasting notes
Very coastal and salty, with a leathery, nutty and almost tarry sherry profile, then layers of familiar waxiness, mineral oils and soft, back ground peat-smoke underneath. The whole thing is drenched in distillery character and is beautifully evocative of the Western Highlands.
