An inaugural release from Ailsa Bay – peated Lowland whisky.
Born from the fires of the Girvan Distillery, Ailsa Bay is an incredibly well balanced single malt whisky.
This distillery can produce a variety of different styles of spirit and this first release is a smoky expression, creating a rare peated lowland.
Nose: Intense with a smoky hint but overall well balanced with creamy, honeyed sweetness.
Palate: Zingy and peaty with a beautiful sweetness. There's also a slight meaty character with a hint of maple syrup to round things off.
Finish: Relatively long. Again a lovely balance of smoke and sweet, savoury but candied spice notes – due to the Oak casks.
