“Matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Bordeaux red wine barriques, the nose opens with peppery smoke, dry earthiness, bramble, black cherry, lilies, and dried vine fruit. It carries a confident firm fruitiness on the palate, with red apple, red gummies, cherry, and upfront peppery notes, revealing a supple texture with hints of sea salt and beach bonfire smoke. The finish is delicious with bitter dark chocolate truffle.” – Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)
“This travel exclusive 14 YO is quite rounded and velvety; with decent depth and complexity. The Bordeaux influence introduces some dried fruits in the midst of all that peat and a dryness that is quite pronounced.” – Donnie, My Whisky Diaries
“The buildup of the whisky’s flavors makes it perfectly suited for people who want to get to know smoky whisky. It’s not a overly complex whisky, but more of a mini discovery journey from France to Islay.” – Whisky Monkeys
