Its smoke is described as highly maritime, with a sharp lemon element, light tar and some oiliness in the texture. The nose is maritime, with gentle peat smoke, honeyed barley and lemon zest.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
