Nose: Smells like an old sailor’s jacket left on a nail outside a smokehouse in Armadale. Buttery capers, mercurochrome, ozone, chalk, clean smoke, rockpool, grilled pineapples with tropical zest, Laphroaig oysters and sage.

Palate: Sweet peat to the fore, sea salted toffee, less of the brightness exhibited on the nose and more buttery depth, like jazz at 3 a.m. Followed by some white peppery spice and charred oak.

Finish: Rich, smoky caramel lingers alongside bonfire embers. A classy close with a breath of salinity. Like kissing a mackerel after a thunderstorm.

Comments: Whisky’s often overlooked fourth ingredient (not you, Time) is displayed here beautifully by Torabhaig’s focused approach to making juice. Expect lots of coastal peat freshness, alongside citrus zest. Elegantly matured for seven years in first-fill Bourbon barrels, this vatting has been carefully and very slightly reduced to 57.1% ABV.
