This Islay whisky was aged for 5 years in ex bourbon casks, from a 100% malted barley mashbill. Cask Strength, non chill filtered, and no color added.
Lets dive in!
ABV: 57%
Nose: Deceivingly sweet, peat, light smoke, vanilla, oak, brine, bbq, red berries.
Palate: Thick mouthfeel, BBQ Smoke, peat, red berries, vanilla, leather, oak
Finish: Creamy Vanilla, smoke, peat, a good balance between sweet vanilla, the smoke and peat. Some leather and oak influence as well.
