Tasting Note
Nose: Earthy vanilla and forest floor richness, with sweetness developing from caramel notes.

Superb single malt Scotch from an unnamed Islay distillery, independently bottled by Ian Macleod. This expression is released as part of the As We Get It range – and it is bottled up just as they got it from the distillery, without added colour or chill-filtration, and at a robust cask strength of 61% ABV. A grand bottle for all the Islay aficionados out there.
