An 8-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Islay, bottled for the ‘Specialty Drinks’ range from Port Askaig. Enjoyably smoky and elegant – a neat introduction to the range.

Nose:Charcoal, salted crisps and a good squeeze of lemon.

Palate:Soft salted caramel brings a sweetness to the palate, with waves of coastal peat smoke crashing underneath.

Finish:Medium length, with a hot kick of peppercorn.
