12 Year Old

From Islay to the world, our 12-Year-Old is created for curious characters. This is one for the free spirits who aren’t content to sit still, and won’t rest until they’ve tasted the rewards of a life well travelled. If you’re not content to stick with what you know, this is an outstanding Islay single malt to get you started on an entirely new journey: a tantalising taste of our wind-swept home.

 

With no chill-filtering or added colours, this is the real deal done our way: complete with our unmistakably smoky style, and with a twist to take things beyond the ordinary. Matured in ex-bourbon American oak barrels we’ve picked out by hand because they’re just right for the job, expect a flavour that’s as fresh as it is classic. This 12-Year-Old Single Malt whisky is a tasting profile for the curious, grounded in the traditions and tastes we’ve refined for generations here on Islay. It started on our rugged stretch of coastline, where it goes from here is entirely up to you.

TASTING NOTES

Colour

Natural colour

Nose

Sea salt, seaweed, stewed green apple and heather honey with a slight rhubarb tang. Behind this can be found pleasing and mellow notes of vanilla, crusty pastry, hazelnut, dried orange peel, hints of ginger, lemongrass, and intermingling through it all are phenolic, tarry peat embers.

Palate

Carbolic soap intertwined with salt encrusted seaweed, smouldering campfires, blackcurrant, hints of stone    fruit, thyme, liquorice root, aniseed and herbal thyme.

Finish

Sweet and powerful, with savoury notes leading to iodine and oily mackerel complexity.

Maturation

Fully matured in American oak ex-Bourbon
