It is lightly peated and matured in a combination of ex-Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace bourbon casks, and ex-Oloroso sherry casks for a smooth and complex profile.

TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Gold
NOSE
There’s butterscotch and iced cherry Bakewell tart on the nose. A pastry-shop sweetness gives way to bright fruit and delicate floral notes, with hints of boiled fruit sweets and a lingering warmth of spice.
TASTE
Rich buttery caramels unfold on the palate with a touch of sweet clove and ginger. All this is balanced by the signature dry, flinty character of the Isle of Harris spirit.
FINISH
The finish is long and creamy with a gentle hint of Outer Hebridean peat smoke. The combination of bourbon and Oloroso casks brings warmth, sweetness and gentle spice, while the light peat adds depth without overpowering the spirit.
