The Six Isles Batch Strength (70cl, 58%)

The Six Isles is a blended malt made by Ian Macleod from single malts of six Scottish islands: Islay, Jura, Skye, Mull, Orkney and Arran. This batch strength bottling is at 58% in a 70cl bottle, without added colouring and without chill-filtration. Strong smoke meets salty, fruity and floral notes, with a fine sweet core underneath. The nose has fresh peat smoke, coastal notes that recall sand, light vanilla, lime and strawberry. On the palate the smoke is full and intense, with gooseberry and sweet citrus against salty, floral notes. The long, peaty finish keeps fruity and woody notes.
