- Description
- This Islay single malt, 12 years old with a sauternes cask finish, bridges smoke and sweetness through an unconventional pairing of peat-forward spirit with dessert wine influence. The peaty, roasty core is softened by sauternes' stone fruit and honeyed notes, creating unusual but harmonious tension on the palate. The finish shows both the wine's sweetness and the malt's briny, smoky backbone. A curious dram for adventurous drinkers willing to challenge traditional Islay expectations.
