This expression, bottled by Alistair Walker hails from an undisclosed distillery from the Isle of Islay. Matured for 16 years, with a finish in a single Ruby Port Hogshead, bringing sweet, sticky fruity and spicy notes to an otherwise phenolic dram.
The nose offers notes of soft peat, a humidor full of cigars, freshly ground black pepper and raw ginger along with rain soaked hot asphalt. The phenolic character continues through to the palate, married with juicy peach, apricot and blood orange notes and a bold spicy finish.
