This whisky is a testament to the unique terroir of Islay, crafted from barley grown exclusively in the Lorgba Field at Octomore Farm. Distilled and aged for five years, it embodies the raw, untamed spirit of the island, offering a bold and intense experience for those who appreciate heavily peated whiskies.

The maturation process in American oak casks allows the whisky to develop a complex profile, balancing the powerful peat smoke with subtle notes of vanilla and oak. The relatively young age of five years ensures that the spirit retains a vibrant and dynamic edge, while the high phenol content delivers a robust and smoky punch. This combination of youth and intensity makes it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a memorable tasting experience.

On the palate, this whisky reveals layers of flavor that evolve with each sip. The initial burst of peat smoke is complemented by hints of citrus and earthy undertones, creating a well-rounded and satisfying profile. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of smoky richness and a touch of sweetness. This is a whisky that demands attention and rewards those who take the time to explore its depths.
