Key details

• Origin: Islay, Scotland
• Age: 5 years
• ABV: 47.4%
• Ex-bourbon and Oloroso casks
• Non-chill filtered

Flavor profile

Black pepper, pine resin and smoke lead into chocolate, tar, eucalyptus and savory meat, ending salty with cocoa and fudge.

Pairing & serving

Taste neat with water added gradually, or use a little in a smoky cocktail. Pair with smoked meat or mature cheddar.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
