Double Cask American Oak – Ex Tawny Port & Ardbeg Barrels

Status: Allocation Exhausted

Cigar Pairing: Maduro wrappers/heavy bodied NC’s or dark Wrapper Cubans.

Food Pairing: dark (>90% cocoa) chocolate.

A melodic blend of contrary flavours. In this symphony, the opulent sweetness of Tawny Port dances hand in hand with the distinct Islay charm of peat notes, creating a harmonious and balanced, full-bodied masterpiece.

Nose: As the liquid is poured, the aromatic dance begins with a bouquet of sumptuous dark fruits, where succulent figs, raisins, and a medley of dried berries take centre stage. Mingling with this decadent fruit basket is the unmistakable essence of Islay peat—a maritime whisper that promises a sensory journey like no other.

Palate: The first sip unfurls the symphony, revealing the depth and complexity of the whisky’s palate. Dark chocolate, salted caramel, and the luscious sweetness of the Tawny Port-soaked oak create a lush backdrop. Yet, as the symphony reaches its crescendo, the Islay peat introduces a unique medley of orchard fruits—green apples, ripe pears, and a subtle citrus zest that interweave with the intrinsic whispers of coastal brine and earthy campfire embers.

Finish: The mouthfeel, akin to satin, envelops the palate in a progressive embrace. The finish, a lingering reverie, showcases the enduring appeal of Tawny Port’s sweet embrace and the Islay peat’s lasting influence—a union that beckons the drinker to savour the nuances with each contemplative sip.

The marriage of these disparate elements results in a whisky that is both indulgent and invigorating, deep and full bodied. A fusion that captivates the senses, making it a must-have for those seeking a whisky that pushes boundaries and redefines flavour exploration.
