The individual batches will illustrate the cask breakdown to allow consumers to compare the releases from year to year, as the wood and blending bring new flavour notes to the liquid.
This cask-strength release is an Islay single malt matured in first-fill ex-bourbon and refill casks, featuring beautiful, rich vanilla and oak spice notes, toasted oak and iconic Islay smoke.
The higher ABV of this whisky provides a more concentrated flavour and oily texture.
Nose: Beautiful, rich vanilla and oak spice notes on the nose.
Palate: Supported by zesty citrus; toasted oak and iconic Islay smoke dominate the palate.
Finish: A lingering finish with spice, smoke, and toffee-like richness.
