Subtle yet distinct peat smoke mingles with aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. There’s a delicate trace of caramel sweetness, underscored by hints of earthy oak and a wisp of roasted coffee beans.

The palate opens with a wave of rich, creamy malt, followed by the warming embrace of smoked bacon and charred wood. Dark fruit compote intertwines with a dash of black pepper, while the porter cask adds a unique depth of mocha and toffee, culminating in a smooth, velvety texture.

The finish is long and satisfying, with the porter cask’s influence leaving a lingering note of rich maltiness, intertwined with the gentle ebb of peat smoke and a final touch of sweet, toasted barley. The complexity of flavours remains balanced and cohesive, offering a harmonious end to the dram.
