1 Jan 1991
1 Jan 2015
A 'triple matured' single malt distilled in 1991, matured in bourbon casks with a short period in PX Sherry butts and finally a long, gentle third maturation in old puncheons. Bottled at 59.9% abv in 2015 for the Fèis Ìle festival.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Earthy peat, barrel char, poached pear, vegetal smoke, vanilla and star anise. Citrus develops. Stunning, powerful stuff.
Huge, peppered bacon, apple jelly and lemon curd on toast, spicy banana, fruity barbecue, dry vanilla.
Prominent peat goes on and on, spicy, tangy, 'big'.
It was a treat to taste it last year at the Feis Ile
