Appearance: A rich, brilliant gold colour Nose: A distinct woodiness, enhanced by a hint of smoke and peat, with notes of caramel and vanilla. Palate: On the palate, a smooth malt and honey flavour opens up to white fruits, carried by a subtle peaty smokiness. The texture is velvety and the balance assured, supported by light tannins. The long finish leaves a hint of astringency and a touch of warmth. Overall impression: A harmonious and well-integrated whole, where the malty sweetness blends with a measured peaty smokiness, despite a slight warmth on the finish.
