HOW TO SERVE
Serve neat with a splash of water or perhaps on a large ice cube. Cocktails are always possible but we would like to reserve this malt for sipping neat.
X-FACTOR
This malt beautifully captures the essence of the sea and the islands while also being restrained and decadent like a Highland malt.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of orange blossom, wild flowers, and sultanas with supporting notes of mineral, blanched almonds, and malted barley. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a roasted nuts-driven core with flavors reminiscent of caramel, gingerbread, vanilla bean, and orange peel. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and flawlessly balanced with a voluptuous texture.
