Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Creetown Distillers

ABV: 52%

Score: 92 Points

This Islay single malt from the independent bottler Creetown Distillers is finished in an Oloroso Sherry cask, and the nose has a subtle peatiness along with touches of figs, dates, heather, and honey. The taste is spicy with notes of chili powder and cinnamon spices, peat smoke, dates, figs, and red grapes. The finish is long with gentle spices and a hint of peat. (June, 2024)
