Creamy vanilla and lemon are immediate on the palate, with a peppery nutmeg spice giving way to sweet malt, warm porridge and popcorn. The depth of flavour and creamy, viscous texture is typical of our Islay barley style, with the natural oils from the barley enhanced with layers of sweet citrus, tropical fruit and fragrant peach. The combination of American and French oak makes for a beautifully balanced expression, with a drop of water bringing out subtle marine notes.
FINISH
Sweet, stoned fruits settle on the palate with creamy vanilla custard and a touch of coconut, while a delicate floral note lingers.
CHARACTER
The epitome of our island home, the spirit of Islay runs through this single malt. The unique locale, temperate climate and soils of the island have shaped the barley grown and harvested for this expression. The depth, complexity and balance of flavours combine to create a unique drinking experience – evoking a true sense of place.
