A single cask release from the Ardbeg distillery in Islay, by family-owned, Scotch whisky distiller, blender and independent bottler Hunter Laing as part of their The Kinship Collection in celebration of the 2021 Fèis Ìle Festival. Distilled in 2001, matured for 19 years and bottled in 2021. Only 264 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at a cask strength of 47.8%.

Nose: Rich and intense on the nose, initially sweet before the peaty sea salt character takes over.

Palate: Sublime notes of vanilla fudge and almonds on the palate blending with the saltiness of the Islay peatbog.

Finish: The length of the finish gives plenty of time to contemplate this south-coast charmer.
