Fantastic blended malt featuring Islay single malts! Experience smoke, saltiness, vanilla, and dried fruits. It reminds me of Kilchoman Sanaig, but much more potent. Highly concentrated and warming. The alcohol level is spot on, I think. No need to dilute and it goes down smooth. A prolonged, smoky aftertaste with gentle sherry hints, truly flawless!
