Description

This is the second release in the 'That's The Spirit' series from independent bottler Swell de Spirits, a collaboration with Bastien Renard. Distilled in October 2013 at Bunnahabhain, this Staoisha single malt was matured in a single first-fill ex-bourbon cask and bottled in September 2023, resulting in 340 numbered bottles. It is described with evocative imagery of 'jam sandwiches and custard doughnuts in your rain-lashed canvas tent on the edge of the windswept beach, whilst freshly-caught herrings spit outside on the smoky bonfire.'
