THIS IS A THOUGHT PROVOKING, UBER-PROVENANCE SINGLE MALT WHISKY DISTILLED FROM BARLEY GROWN BY EIGHT FAMILY FARMS ON OUR REMOTE SCOTTISH ISLAND HOME. Barley varieties Optic and Oxbridge were planted across the breadth of the island in 2009; gathering the harvests together was to result in this first 'regional Islay release? - the fifth in the Islay Barley series. We distilled their spirit early in 2010 and it ran clean, rich and malty, before being filled into ex-Bourbon and French wine casks and matured in our warehouses by Loch Indaal.

WE BELIEVE TERROIR MATTERS WE BELIEVE THAT ISLAY WHISKY SHOULD HAVE AN AUTHENTICITY DERIVED FROM WHERE IT IS DISTILLED AND WHERE IT IS MATURED. . . FROM THE PHILOSOPHIES OF THOSE WHO DISTIL IT. A SENSE OF PLACE, OF TERROIR THAT SPEAKS OF THE LAND, THE BARLEY AND WATER FROM WHICH IT WAS MADE, AND OF THE HUMAN SOUL THAT GAVE IT LIFE.
