Into the shelter of its coloured-cottage-lined bay, our journey of discovery has taken us from Scalasaig to the serene seaside village of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.
This is the first in our Single Distillery Vintages Series.
These series’ take ‘parcels’ of stock laid to mature at exactly the same time, from the same ‘Vintage’. In this case, we have married four magnificent casks filled in 2013: numbers 12058, 12059, 12060 and 12061. These whiskies were ‘finished’ for 18 months in the same Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads we used in our Scalasaig Blended Malt.
