What it’s like

An Islay malt with more moderate smoke than its more famous neighbours, which makes it a good gateway to the island. The smokiness combines with honey, lemon and a touch of chocolate, with a maritime character that is present but friendly. It is balanced and versatile, ideal for those who want to discover peated whiskies without starting with the most extreme.

Nose
Soft smoke, lemon and honey, with sea breeze and a touch of chocolate.
Palate
Balanced. Honey, citrus and smoke, with salty and cocoa notes.
Finish
Medium to long, smoky and slightly briny, with an echo of honey.
