| This ale is made using Maris Otter, a traditional barley variety that has been used in high-quality ale production and has been favored by breweries worldwide for over half a century (since the 1960s). The long 7-day fermentation process brings out the complex and oily texture characteristic of this ancient variety. Although it is non-peated, it is aged in Laphroaig quarter casks, resulting in a pleasant hint of peaty aroma. | |

[Scent] Aloe, mezcal, baby corn, humus, willow, bonfire, sea breeze, dried shellfish, rye bread and dried tea leaves. [Flavor] Honey lemon, candied citrus peel, green apple, young papaya, grappa with herbs, seaweed salad, sea beans, peat smoke, fir and pine nuts, oily texture. [Finish] Persimmon, melon, lemonade, brine-pickled green olives, yuzu pepper, and spices like ginger and sansho pepper linger pleasantly. [Comment] The unique and rich flavor that can only be produced at Dornoch remains, and the lingering peaty finish from the Laphroaig cask adds even more depth. An exquisite balance.
