Nose: Bright and fresh with a pronounced peatiness, paired with crisp apples. As it lingers, a surprising hint of unsalted peanuts emerges.

Taste: A bold, full-bodied burst with peppery and malty notes complementing the peatiness. The unique presence of rowan berries meets a touch of fizzy ginger.

Finish: Stretching to a medium duration, it takes a sweet turn with the emergence of milk chocolate.

Comment: Engaging from start to finish.
