Distilled From: Barley / Grain
Retail Price: $$ ($20-$30)
Bottle Size: 750 ml Bottle
Strength: 40%

Tasting Notes:

Light amber / yellow color.
(The blended malt base of 7 Island distilleries)
Big peat and heavy smoke on the nose.
There is a nice underlying sweet malt and grain character on the palate that marries quite well with the medium strength smoke and peat. Overall a very nice blend.
Good mellow islay smoke at a great value.
