🥃 Maturation & Composition

• Distilled in 2008, this whisky celebrates dual maturation: one portion spent 15 years in Manzanilla sherry casks, while another matured 10 years in refill bourbon casks before receiving a 5-year Amarone red‑wine cask finish, before final marriage.

• Non‑chill‑filtered, naturally colored, each batch is released in limited quantity as part of a trilogy honoring Islay’s seafaring heritage.

👅 Palate

Silky yet powerful, it unfolds with cinnamon pastry, treacle toffee, hazelnut, and sweet dried figs, transitioning to soft herbs that nod to Islay’s coastal terroir.

🍂 Finish

A long, warming spice-laden finish warms the palate with lingering oak, pepper, and a whisper of maritime salinity—a reminder of its island roots.

🗺 Style & Significance

• By embracing sherry, bourbon, and Amarone casks, this expression bridges Spanish-Manzanilla freshness, Italian depth, and classic bourbon maturation.

• The result is an elegant un‑peated Islay single malt that balances fruit sweetness, warm spice, and coastal resonance—a compelling departure from peaty Islay norms.
