At eight years of age, we combined selected casks from this distillery and then transferred the single malt into a variety of casks; this is one. The complex nose had perfume, petrichor and apricot jam; maritime notes, leather and smoke (riding horses along the shore, burning heather on a distant hill). The palate neat was feisty and "delightfully grubby" – freshly laid tar, sea shells, dandelion and burdock, heather honey and chewing a tobacco pipe.
The reduced nose had potting sheds, seafood smokers, honeycomb and humidors. The palate delivered dark sweetness – honey and lemon lozenges, black bun, figs in brandy and muscovado with vanilla extract.
