Aged in oak casks for at least 16 years, this much sought-after Single Malt has the massive peat-smoke flavor that's typical of southern Islay, while also offering richness and a dryness that turns it into a truly interesting dram.

I read that this is one of the Islay malts that every Scotch drinker should try. So I did. I’m glad I got it, but it is SUPER smoky! I tried sipping it with a little water, but it was still too strong. So, I mixed it with some Speyside malt (Aberlour 16 year). That turned out to be an amazing combo; it reminds me of the Laphroaig Sherry Cask 10 year malt. Anyway, it’s worth trying, but I’m not sure I’ll buy it again.

This is the very best of the Islay whiskies. Smoky, flavorful, and easy sipping. The nose is delightful. One of my very favorite whiskies.
