Nose: The nose opens with a deep, earthy aroma of peat smoke, reminiscent of an Islay whisky, intertwined with the rich sweetness of tropical fruits, vanilla, and caramel. Subtle hints of oak and spice rise from the background, adding depth to the experience.

Palate: On the palate, the initial sweetness of the rum is balanced by the smoky, peaty notes brought on by the whisky cask finish. The tropical fruit notes—pineapple, mango, and banana—are still present, but they are now beautifully complemented by a layer of toasted oak, dried fruit, and a touch of honey. The influence of the Islay casks adds a savory, almost salty element, with hints of leather, sea breeze, and gentle spices.

Finish: The finish is long and warming, with a lingering smokiness and a soft, creamy texture. There’s a touch of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a final subtle kiss of peat smoke, leaving a lasting impression.
