Description
Alcohol Percentage (ABV): Varies by bottling; often Cask Strength (e.g., 57.1% or 58.3%) Origin: The Isles, Scotland (Undisclosed Island Distillery, often Talisker or Highland Park) Flavour Profile: Maritime, Light Smoke/Heather, Salted Honey, and Bright Fruit Taste Background: As an Independent Bottling (IB), the flavor is cask-specific, but the style typically showcases the character of the Scottish Islands. Expect a refined balance of maritime notes (sea salt, brine, kelp) and a gentle, fragrant smoke (like wet hay or heather, not heavy Islay peat). The palate is often sweet, with notes of honey, vanilla, caramel, and bright, creamy fruits (peach, apricot, pear), all leading to a long, mineralic finish with a signature coastal tang.
