WHISKY TASTING NOTES
Category: Bold
Nose: Amidst the juicy familiarity of stewed apples and crushed pears, the peated cask delivered a remarkable dimension of smoked mackerel and game meat, alongside burning heather and gorse. The sweet apples began to turn into scorched fruit, presented on salty driftwood beside anchovies in oil.
Palate: The palate too was a remarkable dichotomy, fragrant fruit combining with pine needles and earthy peat. Smoked duck emerged to add to the intrigue, fading into iodine and seaweed on the finish.

About our Bottles
For us, one of the best aspects of a good single malt whisky is its ability to bring people together. So when we created our bottles we wanted to design something that felt like a decanter - meant to be passed around a group of friends, new and old, as they enjoy sharing a dram together.
Our bottles have a good weight to them, making them feel substantial and giving them the presence a good whisky deserves. We've offset the label, so that the whisky is centre stage; it shows the natural colour of the liquid clearly and proudly.
The label clearly and transparently shows you all the key information, including: the nature of the liquid (for example, single malt scotch) where it was distilled; how old it is; and how strong it is. All our liquids are natural colour and non chill filtered.
Our bottles come in two sizes: 700ml, which is our standard for our main releases; and for some of our expressions, 100ml minis.
