Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Subdued peat opens on the nose with well-integrated wood notes appearing in concert. The palate shows more of the telltale smoke and salt, but it doesn’t dominate, allowing mixed spices and sherry notes to appear, leading to a contemplative earthy finish.
