It features a powerful, balanced profile of intense, earthy, and smoky notes mixed with sweet vanilla, caramel, citrus, and toasted nuts. Key Details and Tasting Notes Profile: The backbone of the 14th series, balancing raw, powerful peat with the sweet influence of American oak. Nose: Intense smoke, creamy toffee, sweet caramel, lemon meringue pie, almond, and delicate floral hints of heather. Palate: Thick, oily texture with powerful smoke, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a fruity, citrusy brightness. Finish: Long, lingering smoke, mineral, with notes of burnt heather, brine, and salted caramel. Provenance: 100% Scottish barley (2016 harvest), distilled in 2017. Maturation: Aged for 5 years in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks. This edition is recognized for its high phenol level and its ability to combine a "super-heavily" peated nature with surprising delicacy.
