Elements of Islay Ma2 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml)

The second' Ma' from the Elements of Islay series is a vatting of four first fill bourbon barrels which were aged at Bunnahabhain for thirteen years ('Margadale' is a nickname for heavily peated Bunnah', taking its title from the mouth of the nearby Margadele River.) This promises a more intense and smokey expression from a distillery otherwise known for its lightly peated style.

Notes from the bottler... NOSE Rich custard with aniseed, stem ginger and a background note of coastal smoke. Thicker notes of banana with toasted vanilla pods emerge. PALATE Thick and oily, accompanied by flavours of orange juice and cigar smoke. Oak sweetness and spice develops, creating tones of sherbet dipped liquorice. FINISH Clean and fresh. Grilled green apples slowly fade. 55.2% Alc./Vol.
