I've been waiting to get hold of a bottle of this ever since I tried a sample two years ago but for some reason it never showed up on the shelves until recently. It's an instant classic: an easy drinking peated whisky that scratches all the right itches. The nose is surprisingly soft but the spirit delivers a crescendo of sweet coastal peat in the mouth that is reminiscent of a young Talisker. It's Skye by way of Campbeltown, a route well worth taking. One of the best new standard releases of the year.
