Very limited release from one of the great Distilleries of not only Islay but of Scotland. The peaty power of this alluring spirit is undeniable, as it plunges your palate into its smoky depths. An intensely salty mouthfeel drifts into sweet and sour notes of smoked chili chocolate and paprika. Waves of toasted oak and roasted tea leaves emerge, before subsiding to reveal fresh peppermint fondant and salted white chocolate.. Product Description Between 1981 and 1989 the distillery sadly closed only returning to production of true Malt Whisky in 1997. Renowned as the peatiest and smokiest of all Islay Malts. \'Unquestionably the greatest distillery on earth. If perfection on the palate exists, this is it.\' as the whisky critic Jim Murray puts it. Tasting Notes A firm but gentle finish, soothing wood smoke carries into a length, lingering finish – resonating far beyond the glass.
