For those in the know.... This whisky is powerful and very peaty. It comes from one of Islay's most famous distilleries.

Nose: Sweet and delicate, a little spicy and deeply exotic. Viney, suggesting white grapes and Manzanilla sherry, then becomes lush, floral and fruity. A hint of vanilla caramel gradually appears. A drop of water lifts the citrus notes and adds hints of sweet caramel.

Mouth: The texture is soft and creamy, the taste is slightly sweet and fruity. It then becomes more lively, with acidity and spicy, peppery, drying tannins. A drop of water initially brings out the fruitiness without diminishing the spice.

Finish: Medium to long, finishing on a dry, tongue-tingling, warmly spicy note with fruity acidity and a pinch of white pepper.

Nose: Fresh sea breeze, citrus notes, enhanced by tropical fruit notes and a dry marine spiciness.

Mouth: Creamy texture, accompanied by a sweet, richly fruity and slightly salty taste that dances on the tongue.

Finish: Spicy and long.

Color: Rich golden amber

Nose: Warm, welcoming notes of guava and coconut, sugar-coated almonds, apricots and a touch of citrus

Finish: Sweet vanilla, fudge, layers of mango, banana and guava, with a finish of sweet cinnamon spice

Caribbean rum barrels

A well-balanced, lightly saline Highland single malt whisky that makes an excellent aperitif. A crisp, dry, appetizing malt that opens with fresh, sweet orange notes and a long, dry finish.
