Originally released to commemorate the distillery’s 200th anniversary, this eight-year-old has now been added as a permanent addition to the core range. Big and smoky, with sweet spice that becomes apparent with a drop of water.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Salted popcorn, honey-roasted nuts, tarry ropes and light hints of freshly-chopped cedar. A touch of burnt sugar sweetness lingers.
Palate: Smokey peat appears first on the palate, followed by coriander seed, barley sugar, cumin powder, smoked kipper and marzipan, layers of apple crumble, toasted almond and ash. Another kick of cooking spices right at the end.
