Tasting Notes:
The nose immediately takes you to the west coast. Classic peat and smoke but with lots of creaminess beneath with notes of vanilla, chocolate nuts and custard. Soft and sweet to taste initially before it takes a citrus twist with notes of barbecued lime, lemon pork and cracked black pepper. Long lingering smoky finish with a chocolate coffee bean and salted liquorice character.

About the Artwork: On the Isle of Skye, the Quiraing, named from the Old Norse for “pillared enclosure” is said to be the arena of battling giants. The scars of their epic, pitched confrontations still mark the island, with stramashes so violent that their clashes shook the earth, causing landslides that sculpted the jagged rock formations seen today. One tale speaks of a fallen giant on the Trotternish Peninsula, where the iconic Old Man of Storr is said to be the remains of his thumb, or according to some, a rather more private part of his anatomy.
