Description

Region: Islay, Scotland

Nose: Soft and beautiful. Creamy and threaded through with oily vanilla bean. Slightly minerally. A little grilled pineapple (brilliant caramelized sugar notes) and charred orange peel. Black Wine Gums. Faint lime notes. Rubber band and fabric bandages.

Palate: Almost tropical again, and an incredibly bold and lively delivery. Rich and gorgeous. Some tannins do grow toward the back end though. Surprisingly jammy and gooey. Rubber and char notes. Great soft confusion of flavors (hinting at good integration/complexity). Slightly more vegetal here. Some grapefruit too. Gorgeous development.
