87/ 100Very good

This 12-year-old single malt is a single-cask release bottled at a robust 55.4% ABV. As a Staoisha bottling, it is associated with a heavily peated style, so a smoky and more intense character is likely than in many everyday whiskies.

A clean, balanced and lovable drop with great intensity, layering barbecue ashes, tarry smoke, brine and salty lime over sweet fruit.
