Nose: In this whisky, faint waves of scented woodsmoke mingle with sea spray and pine resin. Wisps of aniseed toffee and sweet lilies follow on the breeze while fresh citrus zest laps over notes of cayenne pepper. With a splash of water, waxy notes and charcoal flow into droplets of classic Sherry and linseed oil.
Palate: A rush of rich, sappy textures is followed moments later by classic sweet smokiness. Tarry rope and treacle toffee plunge the palate into a second wave of soot and aniseed twists. Smoke bobs on the horizon, while smoked brown sugar, walnuts and spices gently dissolve away.
Finish: A long, unhurried finish carries bitter almonds and clove in its wake, before slowly drifting away.

Nose: Heavy, earthy peat smoke intertwines with rich Oloroso influences of dark chocolate, Medjool dates, and a distinct "Campbeltown funk" that hints at sea brine and damp dunnage warehouses
Palate: A thick, oily mouthfeel carries powerful flavors of honey-glazed bacon and espresso, transitioning into a savory mid-palate of salted nuts, roasted mushrooms, and sweet dried fruits
Finish: The experience concludes with a long, warming finish dominated by soot and chimney smoke, accented by lingering notes of black pepper, old leather, and a touch of maritime salinity
