This is a marvellously mysterious single malt, independently bottled by Adelphi for its Breath of the Highlands series. Hailing from an undisclosed Highland distillery, this peated expression spent eight years maturing in a single Oloroso hogshead between 2012 and 2021, with a total outturn of 334 bottles.
