Complex, elegant, and full of character, our inaugural expression is a delicious dram which unfolds in your glass, revealing itself over time, just like the island itself.
Made to our carefully refined blenders' recipe, we combine spirits which have been matured by the coastal village of Ardhasaig in selected first fill Ex-Bourbon casks, first fill Ex-Oloroso and Fino sherry butts.
We then marry these spirits in batches for a minimum of 12 weeks to bring additional harmony to the final dram.
The result is an Outer Hebridean single malt of distinction we're proud to bottle and bear our elemental island's name.
