This Old Particular bottling is an Islay single malt distilled in 2005 and aged for 17 years. It was drawn from a refill hogshead, bottled at 51.9% ABV, and released exclusively for the Malaysian market. The stated outturn is 246 bottles. The expression is presented without added colouring and without chill-filtration.
The aroma combines briny coastal air, damp earth, treacle sweetness and juicy barley. Mellow, rounded peat leads the taste, joined by sea spray, damp moss and dark sugar. It concludes long, soft and comforting, with malt sweetness balanced by gentle smoke.
This cask-strength Islay whisky suits unhurried sipping, particularly for drinkers who enjoy maritime notes and measured peat smoke. Serve neat first; a few drops of water may be added gradually to explore the aroma and texture.
