Rich sherry and sultanas bring a sweet, rounded side, while the coastal salt gives it a welcome change of direction. That balance makes this sound like a warmly inviting malt, without asking the fruit to do all the work.

A 12-year-old Scottish Islay single malt with a sweet, rich character: blackcurrant jam and vanilla on the nose, followed by sherry, roasted nuts, malt and sultanas on the palate. Cloves and warming spice add a firmer edge, while the subtle coastal influence and sea-salt finish keep it from feeling purely dessert-led. The contrast between ripe sweetness and coastal notes is the most appealing part for me. The name lists sherry, bourbon and whisky casks, but does not specify a cask sequence or finishing stage.
