Primarily featuring Caol Ila, Deanston, and Clynelish,
this is a predominantly smoky-peaty expression.
The 2018 release increases the proportion of Sherry Cask usage to add complexity to the expression.

Tasting note from Master of Malt for reference

Nose-
Coastal air and fiery peat, tempered by hints of honey on toast and vanilla pod.

Palate-
Continued smoke alongside drying Christmas spices and a very slight touch of raisin cookies.

Finish-
Oatcakes, salted butter, orange and clove.FW
