Description

An Islay distillery that developed a cult status following its closure by Distillery Company in 1983. Originally only providing fillings for blends, its single had become hugely sought-after by the turn of the 21st century, so much so in fact that it was re-opened again by Diageo in 2024.

Nose
First, alcohol is really well integrated. Aromatic is overpowering on iodine, sea spray, seawater, fishing nets. Mineral and lemon as well. It is really a crazy complexity because we also find a peat discrete but very present. This one is fat, almost medicinal, paved. At aeration, it becomes more citrus, more sharp.
Palate
Empowered too. For me, here, it is mainly peat that expresses itself. Grasse, camphor, very camphoric, liquorice, it's really impressive. We find the iodine, seaweeds, oyster shells, and ... a hint of coffee.
Finish
Looooongue, more on a big smoke and ash. Slightly saline. Candied lemon enters the dance too. Endless.
