What it’s like

It is named after a famous whirlpool near Islay and lives up to its reputation for intensity. It combines bourbon and French oak casks, according to the brand, and is bottled at 57.1% without chill filtration. It is powerful and deep: peat smoke, black pepper, dark fruit, chocolate and sea salt. Best tried with a few drops of water. It is one of the malts most prized by fans of intense smoke.

Nose
Intense smoke, black pepper and dark fruit, with chocolate and salt.
Palate
Powerful and dense. Peat, black cherry, spice and tar, with toffee.
Finish
Very long, smoky and spicy, with hints of ash and fruit.
