An unusually savory dram, bursting with nutmeg, coffee dregs, chickpeas and dried ceps, followed by a very long, spicy and salty finish.

Chain Pier is a whisky producer based in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is associated with the modern revival of distilling in Leith, a historic port district long connected with the whisky trade.
An unusually savory dram, bursting with nutmeg, coffee dregs, chickpeas and dried ceps, followed by a very long, spicy and salty finish.
A fun, experimental whisky with lovely citrus notes, but excessive woodiness dominates the palate and makes its character rather puzzling.
A thick, sweet whisky with heavy breakfast-cereal notes, but very active virgin oak brings wet pinewood, vanilla, glue and even a hint of plastic.
