Tasting Notes

• Nose: An inviting medley of dark chocolate, treacle, and crystalized ginger, complemented by earthy forest floor notes, polished oak, and a hint of coastal smoke. Sweet sherry, dark orange, and star anise add a warming touch.
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied, featuring old-fashioned ginger cake, fig jam on toasted brown bread, winter spices, and an intriguing mix of earthy tobacco smoke and dark honey.
• Finish: Long and satisfying, with flavours of sticky peanut brittle, smoked treacle, and figs steeped in sweet sherry, balanced by spiced oak and charred orange rind.

This bold and brooding single malt captures the essence of Islay’s coastal character while embracing the luxurious sweetness of sherry casks. Inspired by the fabled tale of the Devil fleeing Islay in a Bowmore cask, Batch #2 delivers a devilishly delightful dram, big on flavour and steeped in legend.

A treat for connoisseurs and collectors alike, this release combines peat, spice, and sweetness in perfect harmony, making it a spirited addition to any whisky collection.
