Bottled at cask strength, it intensifies the whisky's spice, black pepper, and cinnamon flavours without losing its unpeated, sherried essence, and enhances the mouthfeel.

The water is drawn from the Margadale River and avoids being changed by the plentiful peat that is in the area.

The first is their main style, which is lightly peated but still rich and slightly oily in character. In 2021, Master Distiller, Stephanie Macleod, handpicked Cote Rotie red wine casks from the Rhône Valley.

For those looking for a smokier formula, try the Bunnahabhain Moine whisky, which contains Islay peat.
