Ardnahoe Bholsa Oloroso Sherry Casks (70cl, 50%)

Ardnahoe Bholsa is the second core-range single malt from Ardnahoe Distillery on Islay, named after the Bholsa caves on the island's north coast. It is bottled at 50% vol, non-chill filtered and without colouring, with the majority of its maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky combines typical Islay smoke with the deep, fruity sweetness of Oloroso sherry casks. On the nose there are red fruits, walnuts, orange zest and a fine hint of peat smoke. The palate is full-bodied with raisins, dates and ripe plums running through classic Islay peat. The finish is long, spicy-peppery and smoky.
