Product Description
The second iteration of Ailsa Bay single malt, replacing the version released in 2016, is both peatier and sweeter than its predecessor. It has, however, gone through the same micro-maturation process as the first edition - one that sees the spirit first filled into smaller-than-average bourbon casks for six to nine months, a process which accelerates maturation before it is then transferred into more traditional casks for several years.
Ailsa Bay Sweet Smoke has notes of damp heather, vanilla oak, creamy toffee and candied orange peel.

Tasting notes from the producer
Nose
Fresh wood smoke with notes of smouldering damp heather and an extinguished bonfire. Following the smoke is a wave of oaky sweetness and vanilla oak, candied orange peel.
Taste
Beautifully-balanced peat and rich vanilla oakiness, this second batch has maintained the same intriguing flavour meandering between smoke, fruit and creamy toffee, this extra maturation period has developed deeper toasty oak notes with every sip.
Finish
An intriguing balance of oaky sweetness and peaty dryness.

Absolutely the best whisky I've ever tasted, warms the soul, and from the most beautiful coastline. Nothing comes close.
Absolute perfection. The subtle smokiness is perfectly balanced with the soft sweetness.
Absolutely loved it. We brought a bottle home to Canada and wish that we’d brought more!
Yes I tried ! As a lover of smoked single malts, I found this one totally interesting, thanks to the other fragrances in the background, nevertheless well present (vanilla, orange, chocolate,..) in very well balanced additional notes. A very good surprise !
Superb taste
