The Story

The definitive Islay malt. Dry and intensely smoky with a rich, full body. A whisky that demands your attention.

Tasting Notes

"Intense peat smoke, maritime salt, and iodine on the nose. Full-bodied with layers of sherry sweetness, dried fruit, and a magnificently long smoky finish."

"The king of Islay. Nothing compares to that 16-year depth of peat and smoke. A masterclass in balance."
