A Breath of Fresh Air
A Trail of Smoke
A Trail of Smoke
A showcase for the balanced use of smoke, this perfectly poised Island Blended Malt allows the distillery character and wood influence to take us on a journey with a whiff of smoke ever-present in the background. An evocative release redolent of the remarkable islands from which it hails.
"A complex tour of Scotland’s whisky-making islands, this blended malt starts with the sweetness of strawberry sherbet, a dab of butter and a hint of burnt toast, before opening up to pineapple, green apple, olive brine and raspberry jelly."
Ross
"Take a meandering taste journey through Scotland’s Islands – from dry and herbal to luscious and fruity with a delicate trail of woodsmoke always present in the background. Complex, evocative this release is redolent of the remarkable islands from which it hails."
Colin Hampden-White
"The nose is sweet and seductive, with hints of bubblegum in a good way and blackcurrant jelly. The palate is a total contrast being dry, old smoke, in the way a fire is almost out. The meaty flavours linger on. It almost tastes like a fine steak with whisky-based cream sauce."
Joe Micallef
"A mix of island malts, this is surprisingly light on the nose, with restrained citrus aromas and a fresh scent of sea salt. The peat only really asserts itself in the mouth: maritime at first, then more obviously phenolic – but never really smoky. A vibrant and delightful whisky."
