Nose
Brine, lemon oil, fresh peat smoke and bandages. A hint of olive juice and warm machine oil from beneath.
Palate
Hot and oily at full strength — green apple, sea salt, charred lemon and a wave of peat ash. With water it opens into vanilla, kippered fish and pebble.
Finish
Long, drying and mineral, ash settling slowly with a citric tug at the end.
Expert Review
8.2/10The cask-strength sibling to the standard 12, released within Diageo's annual Special Releases as a louder, more saline statement of house style.
