Verdict
From raw barley and pastry richness to grilled citrus and peat — a direct Islay. Floor-malted freshness meets savory smoke.
Floor-malted barley's sweet-savory character defines this bottle. Vanilla-pastry softness opens, then grilled lemon and charred citrus build firm structure. Maltiness and savory peat carry through to the end — Islay with both freshness and smoke.
