A peated single malt from Character of Islay Whisky Company, distilled at an undisclosed distillery on Islay and matured for 10 years in a combination of bourbon barrels and Spanish oak sherry quarter casks.
The nose has plenty of maritime peat, interlaced with honey, caramel, and a kick of spice. The peat carries through to the palate, like a bonfire on the beach, mixed with notes of dark chocolate, espresso and hibiscus. The embers from the bonfire continue to burn in the palate with a delicious hint of toffee sweetness.
