    • Nose

      Zesty and smoky: freshly peeled lemons and coal smoke with orchard fruit and fresh grain.

    • Palate

      Limestone and coal fires give way to honeysuckle, sugar-snap peas and liquorice.

    • Finish

      Salt, pepper and lingering lemon as the smoke fades.

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Nose

      Lemon zest and coal smoke with warming barley just turned on the malting floor.

    • Palate

      Limestone, sugar snaps and coating of dark peat. Honeysuckle weaved with liquorice sweetness.

    • Finish

      Fresh flavours of rock salt and black pepper linger as the smoke slowly fades.

    Colin,

    I was curious and if I'm honest it was the price that made me add it to an order. I'm glad I did because this is rather nice. Very pale and almost clear, it delivered all the elements of an Islay but without the harshness that some can find challenging. I can see how some Islay lovers could be disappointed, but think of this as an aperitif and not a digestif.... something different.

    Highlander,

    Looks like white wine/water,but has nice peaty,coastal tastes within.Quite impressive overall.Nice sweetish balance of flavours and same strength as Talisker...so hard not to enjoy!!

    Philip,

    Great product, a lovely variation away from the strong kick that some Islay distilleries tend to have. I would highly recommend.

    Kenton,

    I was really surprised by this 8 yr old, a very nice whiskey, not harsh and reasonably complex and a very attractive price.

    unimpressed,

    harsh and thin, a slight smoke but unwelcoming.
