It is bottled at 92 proof and typically sells for around $60. This expression was released in 2019.

  • Very sherry-heavy but well balanced expression. The peat is subtle, which is very hard to do.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Very bright on the nose — lots of orchard fruit. Granny Smith apples, pears. Lightly smoky but not at all overwhelmingly so. Also some red fruit — cranberries, raspberries, caramel.

  • Taste:

    Salted caramel, graham cracker, waffle cone.

  • Finish:

    Big sherry influence on the finish. Lots of jammy red fruits and some tobacco.

  • Overall:

    Very sherry-heavy but well balanced expression. The peat is subtle, which is very hard to do.
