- Description
- Auld Reekie is a 10-year-old blended malt from Duncan Taylor drawing from Islay sources, creating a robust and full-bodied spirit grounded in peat and maritime character. The blending approach rounds the typical Islay intensity while maintaining the core character of smoke, salt, and seaweed typical of the region. Textured and substantial on the palate with surprising depth for a blended malt, the finish lingers with peppery spice and smoke. Best suited to peat enthusiasts seeking a well-crafted, less aggressive alternative to heavily peated single malts.
