Product details
Rooted in the tempestuous beauty of the Isle of Skye, this 14-year expression stands as a testament to raw elemental character and bold vision. Crafted in a rugged coastal house surrounded by swirling sea spray and ancient volcanic terrain, it draws lifelong inspiration from its dramatic island home. After years of maturation in seasoned ex-bourbon casks, the liquid receives a daring final chapter: a finish in new American oak barrels toasted by the radiant heat of volcanic rocks—an homage to fire meeting water. The result is a creation charged with coastal energy and volcanic impulse, marrying maritime freshness with molten depth.
On the nose, expect a dry, assertive presence that opens with a sharp prickle of sea salt and mineral mist. Hints of white grape and parsnip-like vegetal tones emerge as the liquid breathes, adding unexpected nuance. The palate introduces a creamy texture that quickly turns both sweet and briny, before a peppery kick and subtle embers of volcanic heat make their entrance. The finish stretches long and drying—light pepper persists, along with a faint memory of peat and a final blast of ocean breeze meeting lava-warmed oak.
