- Description
- This limited-release blended malt (848 bottles) aged seven years in bourbon cask before a two-year finish in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV by Murray McDavid. The PX finish introduces deep raisin, fig, and treacle sweetness that complements rather than masks the underlying peat. A balanced peaty-sweet expression suited to those seeking smoke without aggression.
