Our fourth release from the “Red Bag” distillery by happenstance is four years old, and a sister cask to the very well received ‘Peerie Craetir’ we released as our final bottling in the old Dramfool livery in 2023. Bottled at full cask strength, the barrique gave a generous 282 bottles, but if the pace of sales last time is any measure, it won’t hang around for long!

Again, aged in a wine barrique, it has that real Islay smoke and clean spirit we love from this distillery, but don’t take our word for it;

Tasting notes by Jim McEwan MBE:

Red Bag 2020, 4 years old

Cask Type - Refill Red Wine Barrique

Strength - 61.2%

Colour - Stunning Medium Gold

Aromas - An intriguing combination of malt extract & wine-soaked oak. It’s a joy to simply smell it!

Taste - It’s truly unique and most drinkable. The wine overture creates the perfect partner for the peat-dried malted barley flavour. It’s absolutely a beautiful combination of aromas, and the taste receptors are loving the flavours. At this age and strength, however, it tastes wonderful with the addition of some water. The peat works well with the French oak & the Islay DNA frames it beautifully.

Enjoy the journey!
