Tasting notes

Candied fruits
Honey
Rich

Nose

Deeply aromatic and beautifully mature, with polished oak and the gentle waxiness of antique furniture setting the tone. Golden honey, pollen and tinned apricots bring a rich, mellow sweetness, while fleeting wisps of ethereal peat smoke drift through the background.

Palate

Wonderfully oily, coating the palate with layers of candied fruit and resinous sweetness. Honey and baked tarte Tatin bring richness, while ginger and cinnamon add warmth and lift. As the whisky develops, notes of steeped tea emerge alongside increasingly polished, lacquered oak.

Finish

Long, with honey and polished oak slowly giving way to gentle peppery spice. A subtle touch of mint brings freshness at the very end.

The region

Islands

The Islands refers to Scotland's whisky producing islands outside Islay, including Arran, Jura, Mull, Orkney, Skye, Raasay and Harris. Although often referred to as a whisky region, the Islands is not a protected Scotch whisky designation. Most island distilleries fall within the Highland region, while Islay holds its own protected status.

Many island malts are associated with coastal influences, maritime character and distinctive spirit styles. However, the diversity of these whiskies has made them attractive to independent bottlers. Ranging from fruity and elegant expressions to heavily peated styles, many keep a clearly identifiable distillery character throughout maturation. This allows Rare Find to explore a wide variety of cask types and finishing techniques while preserving the individuality of the spirit.
