For centuries the stormy waters of the Atlantic Ocean has not only shaped the character of the people of Islay but also the character of their famous whiskies. In many ways this fine malt mirrors the character of Islay people – strong yet gentle, warm yet mellow, but with a maturity beyond its years. Robust peaty, with that unmistakable breath of the seashore.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Earthu, smokey peat and salty ocean breeze
PALATE Pungent peat smoke and chewy sweet malt. Pepper, tar and a touch of iodin.
FINISH Long and warming. Smokey ashes of the peat fire.
