Summary

This whisky hails from the renowned Islay region of Scotland, known for its bold and smoky expressions. Aged for a decade, it showcases the mastery of traditional whisky-making techniques combined with a modern approach to peat. The spirit is crafted with 100% Scottish barley and matured in a combination of first-fill American whiskey casks, second-fill American whiskey casks, and second-fill French wine casks, resulting in a complex and layered profile.

On the nose, this whisky presents a robust aroma of peat smoke intertwined with hints of sea spray and earthy undertones. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering an intense wave of smoky flavors complemented by notes of vanilla, oak, and a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of peat and a touch of spice.

This heavily peated whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a strong, smoky character in their dram. It embodies the essence of Islay, offering a bold and memorable tasting experience that is both powerful and refined.
