Uniquely located on the Island of Skye, this is the only distillery on the island.
It is located on the west coast in a sheltered glen below Cnoc nan Speireag (Hawk Hill), it also draws its water from the same hill.
Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of the most remote, windswept yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland.
This single malt has a famously rich and powerful peat-smoke flavour, while the finish leaves you with a warm peppery taste at the back of the mouth.
It is double distilled to create a rich, deep character embodying the maritime characteristics of a coastal whisky, and then aged for a minimum of 10 years in American oak casks.
Nose: Thick with pungent smoke. Notes of kippers, seaweed and apples peels later introduce themselves. Fresh and fragrant.
Palate: Full bodied on the palate with huge plumes of smoke and volcanic, peppery peat. An intense kick to it.
Finish: A long finish with barley and lastly malt.
