Islay Rum Peat Spiced (40%)

A spiced rum from the Islay Rum Company, made in the historic Old Lemonade Factory in Port Ellen on Islay. It combines Caribbean rum tradition with Islay character, using a 168-hour fermentation, traditional copper pot still distillation with double retort, and smoking over real peat fire. The nose is dominated by earthy peat smoke, bitter cocoa and citrus, with vanilla and a gentle sweetness. The palate brings dark chocolate, ripe orange and spicy ginger, with smoke present throughout. The finish is long, carried by peat, spice and pleasant sweetness. This limited edition has an outturn of 1,800 bottles worldwide.
