Tasting notes from Jim McEwan MBE

Colour - Luminous Autumnal Medium Barley

Body - Full bodied, the balance between the oak and the spirit is a marriage of power & grace giving a texture that is super smooth, rich, viscous and multi-layered.

Aromas - It’s an olfactory delight. Subtle waves of succulent fruit create a halo which frames the sweet toastiness of the malted barley. Its time spent maturing on the Atlantic edge creates a freshness that works beautifully with the crispness of the toasted barley.

Palate - The taste spectrum is amazing. The sweetness from the barley, the fruitiness from the Jurançon, the mellowness of the oak, the freshness of the Atlantic tides & its 13 years maturing in the single Jurançon cask. Distilled by Islanders in an 1881 Distillery.

Enjoy your spiritual visit to the coast of Heaven!
