- 1st fill port wine barrique
A peated Highland single malt distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2025 after 14 years. It matured from February 2011 to April 2025 in a single first fill port wine barrique. Michel Reick bottled it at cask strength, 53.5% ABV, for The Old Friends; the outturn is 297 bottles. It is neither coloured nor chill filtered.
The cask brings distinct smoke together with dark, winey fruit. The nose shows sweet peat smoke with blackberries, redcurrants and raspberry jam, plus spice cake, damp wood, leather and dark chocolate. The palate is soft yet structured, with ripe forest berries, cocoa powder, raisins, smoke, ash and tobacco, plus a hint of mint and a slightly mineral tone. The finish is long and dry, with light smoke, remaining sweetness, plum compote, oak spice, a hint of pepper and gentle peat ash.
