HOW TO SERVE
Ideal neat with just a splash of water or over one large cube of ice. Serve in nearly any Whisky cocktail but we imagine it in a mind-altering Rusty Nail.
X-FACTOR
A peat lover's dream delivered in a raw yet sophisticated and complex malt ready to impress.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, light copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering aromas of iodine, campfire, and gingerbread with supporting notes of baked apple, forest floor, baking spices, and cashew butter. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a malted barley-driven core with supporting flavors of chocolate, smoked meat, black pepper, and mocha. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and favorably balanced with a waxy texture.
