Made with barley peated and malted in Scotland, like the Amrut 2014 also found in the New Vibrations catalogue, this version was matured in an ex-port cask. The flavour and aroma palette can be broken down into three very distinct sequences. A first olfactory act sees the peat and Lusitanian wine come together for the first time. A second gustatory act sees peat clearly take the upper hand. In the third and final act, peat and port dialogue on equal terms.
