- Description
- This blended malt is built on Talisker from Skye, softened by Speyside malts and partly matured in sherry casks, creating a lightly peated dram with rich, mellow character. Bottled unfiltered at 43%, the name—pronounced 'potch ghoo'—is Gaelic for 'black pot', a reference to illicit distilling. A 8-year-old that balances maritime smoke with orchard fruit.
