Tasting notes by Jim McEwan MBE:

Colour - Gorgeous Topaz/Amber

Aromas - Opens on a brilliant combination of

mellow oak, toasted barley and held in a halo of plump ripe Syrah grapes, leading onto the biscuity sweetness of toasted malt barley with a drift of

vanilla. It’s a spectacular bouquet having been

matured on the very edge of the Atlantic Ocean. You will find that Islay DNA and the maritime

freshness that highlights all that is special to this spirit.

Palate - The texture and flavour is succulent and sweet, the concentrated fruitiness is in harmony with the flavour of malt extract, the oak and a moderate maritime front note from its slumbers on the Coast of Heaven! The texture of the spirit is smooth and lingers long on the palate much to the delight of the taste buds.

It’s a spirit that’s balanced and offers an insight as to how important it is to mature full-term on the coast of Heaven - Islay! The quality of traditional distilling can be enjoyed.

It’s a rare beauty, no colouring, no chill filtration, just an honest Islander made by a team of

traditional Distillers who have the pride and

passion instilled by generations born and raised on the Island of Distilleries.
