Theres near perfection in the bitter-sweet harmony which is such an enthralling feature of this truly classic whisky, as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit.

Region

A legendary expression from the oldest distillery on Skye

Appearance

Chestnut brown.

Nose

Extremely sharp and well-focussed; no lingering, rambling smoke but instead a wonderful sultana sweetness.

Body

Full bodied, clean yet rich.

Palate

Crisp peat softens to enormous richness, with sweet, roasty malt and a heathery dryness. Sherry replaces the usual pepper with luscious, oily sweetness.

Finish

Deep cocoa notes, magnificent vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Exemplary in balance between sweet and dry.
