Third of a very limited series of special releases from the essential Islay distillery. Delightfully subtle differences compared to previous 12 year old releases. This is the 2008 edition, a cask strength whisky matured in refill bourbon casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The nose is fresh and crisp and excellent clarity. Notes of oily phenols and a rich coastal character. Hints of smoke and wood creep in with peat and a touch iodine. The palate is smoky and nutty with peppery spice and a touch of sweetness. The finish is long and tarry and quite acrid with notes of smoky oak.

Absolutely superb malt.

This has got to one of the finest bottlings, I had the good fortune to lay hands on one this week and it has lived up to and beyond its expectations! The smoothest and silkiest of Islay malts.
