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
oh boy, you just can't hate that old, wet and dumpy peat on the nose. Especially when it comes with old Oloroso sherry. there's some oak tannins here, raisins and a mix of sour and sweet plums. Overall its very gentle yet powerful and with old library dusty feeling which I could sniff for hours.
Palate
Sour berries, sweet wet earthy peat, oak spices, sour plums, and toward the end chocolate and espresso.
Finish
Long finish, spicy deep in mouth, sweet oak and sherry, a bit of peat and nutmeg.
