The 4th release in the Islay Barley exploration series, this was distilled in 2009 using grains grown in 2008. Gilbey McCormick from Claggan, Hunter Jackson from Cruach, and Alastair Torrance from Mulindry were the farmers who grew and harvested the barley (Publican & Oxbridge varieties) for this bottling.

Tasting Notes

"Bright yellow gold in color with notes of a high-rye bourbon, as well as vanilla, and burnt sugar in the nose. The initial palate features honey sweetness, toffee, apples, currant, and hint of summer floral. It finishes similar to the bouquet, with notes of a high-rye bourbon and gentle smoke as the last flavors standing. "
