The arrival at the distillery of a batch of dark roasted malted barley, more commonly used in the production of stout, marked the beginning of a 26-year long experiment. The result was a pleasing depth – smokiness and oakiness as well as the classic honey, vanilla and citrus flavours.

Rich and earthy smoke reveals syrupy sweetness, fresh citrus, creamy vanilla and honey, ending with cinnamon and ginger spice.
