Product Description

Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around sherbet lemon sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2025
The aroma captivates with smouldering pine, hints of farmyard, and crisp melon. The palate unfolds gently, revealing chocolatey smoke, barbecued melon, and soft grains. A luxurious finish of lingering tropical fruit and toasted cereals leaves a lasting impression.

Fresh, elegant aromas of mint, cucumber, and lemon zest lead to a rich palate of dark chocolate, carrot cake, and roasted pumpkin. The finish is delightfully complex with lingering hints of fragrant peat smoke, caramel, toffee apples, and smooth vanilla.

Peaches mingle with tangy grapefruit, while gentle peat and bonfire smoke create a pleasant smoky note. Finish is smooth and satisfying.
Silver · 94 pts2023iwsc.net ↗
Warm citrus cake aromas swirled in Manuka honey, with sweet smoke and a tangy green pear acidity, and a bourbon sweetness giving a long and lingering length.
Gold Outstanding2022iwsc.net ↗
Fragrant figs, sweet caramel, maple, dates and almonds marry lightly spiced smoke, blackcurrant leaf and toasted oak notes. Delivers a complete, beautifully balanced aromatic feast. Symphonically integrated and sublime.
Gold2021iwsc.net ↗
Burnished orange with white chocolate, sweet golden honey and gorse flower high notes. Complex and beguiling with an elegant balance of ripe conference pear, salted peanut and delicately sweet, smoky richness.
Whisky Advocate · Susannah Skiver Barton · 2021
Briny smoke integrates with sweet bakery aromas … The palate's silky texture is an ideal base for warm vanilla, toasted nuts, toffee, and milk chocolate, swirling with iodine peat and gentle gingerbread spices.

The smoke is sweet, dry, and complex … A silky textured dram with green herbal and woody notes, a lively burst of pepper … Peppery, mouth-coating finish of creamy lemon and medicinal notes.
World Whiskies Awards judges · Category Winner · 2025
Smoky peat and citrus sweetness sits alongside black pepper on the nose, with runny honey, gentle peat and caramelised Brazil nuts on the palate. Coffee, camphor smoke and floral elements define a gloriously complex, pleasingly warming finish.

The nose brings initial notes of sweet peat with hints of grilled gammon and pineapple. On the palate, there are notes of porridge with honey, dry smoke, grilled meats with an ashy note leading into the finish.

The palate remains equally smoky, with the addition of dark chocolate, ginger spice, tar and iodine, before getting a little bitter on the finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
