About the style
Heavily peated: barley dried over peat smoke gives bonfire, brine, and iodine. A wine-cask finish layers in berry, plum, and extra depth. Style: Port-finished Islay, Islay.
How to serve
Pour into a tulip or Glencairn glass and nose it first. Try it neat, then add a few drops of water to open the aromatics — cask strength especially rewards a splash.
