The peated half of the Select Cask pair, drawn from casks chosen for their smoke and depth and bottled just under cask strength. Peat from both of the distillery's source regions gives a smoke that is dry, sharp and sweet by turns.

What it delivers

• Smoky, earthy and sweet on the nose with a spicy edge
• Crisp Muscovado and Demerara sugars balanced against the peat
• Spicy hickory and Dominican-style cocoa across a full-bodied palate
• A finish of delicate cocoa cut with the tart edge of marmalade

Why it matters

• Named International Whisky of the Year at the Meininger's International Spirits Awards
• Crowned Asian Whisky of the Year at the Wizards of Whisky World Whisky Awards
• Gold in the Single Malt Super Premium category at the World Whisky Masters
• Golden mahogany in the glass, naturally coloured and non chill-filtered
