  • The legendary dark silkie

    Aroma:

    The nose is smoky and robust, with rich notes of peat smoke and dark chocolate, balanced by hints of dried fruit, roasted nuts, and a touch of vanilla. Subtle undertones of sea salt and spice, including black pepper and cloves, add depth and intrigue.

    Palate:

    On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, offering a harmonious blend of smoky and sweet flavors. The initial peat smoke is complemented by notes of caramel, toffee, and dark fruits like plums and raisins. A gentle spiciness, featuring hints of black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of licorice, mingles with the oak influence, creating a rich and layered experience.

    Finish:

    The finish is long and warming, with the smoky flavors lingering on the palate. As the smoke gradually fades, it leaves behind a pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate, spice, and a hint of oak, making for a bold and satisfying conclusion.
