The Islay character is refined and nuanced, with the smaller cask size creating a perfect balance between the whisky and oak. This ratio contributes to a beautifully harmonious maturation, offering a smooth oak influence and oxidative depth. The whisky takes on a rich bronze hue, characteristic of ex-Bourbon casks that continue to impart a lively oak presence.
Nose: The opening notes are of strong sweet fruits; kiwi, peach, mango and pomegranate. There’s almost a seasonal effect as we delve deeper that really fits with the time of year, sugared apples, prunes, and sweet honey finishing with dried tobacco , seashells and a delicate hint of iodine reminiscent of Islay whiskies.
Palate: The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, with a burst of pepper spice, citrus peel, and lemon zest, complemented by notes of kiwi and ripe bananas. This gives way to red liquorice, beach tangle, and a light touch of iodine. A whisper of grilled mackerel adds to the maritime character. As it evolves, it reveals dried figs, dried apricots, floral notes of lavender and rose petals, followed by pipe tobacco, treacle, and molasses. The finish lingers with delicate hints of Laphroaig and a salty, maritime conclusion.
