It delivers a bold, structured profile that unfolds with a fiery intensity, assaulting the palate with thick tar, peat smoke, and creamy liquorice. This is not a whisky for the faint-hearted - it demands to be savored with a biting wind in your face, allowing the flavors to fully penetrate the tongue. While initially overwhelming, time and patience will tame this monster, revealing the true complexity and depth of this uncompromising Islay expression.
