Just how do they continue to unearth whiskies which are truly staggering; absolute marvels of their type? This one is astonishing because the grain used is just about faultless. And the peating levels can be found around about the perfect mark on the dial. Just mesmerically beautiful."

But as evocative and vital as these dates are, the most stunning aspect of this spirit is its taste.”
Tom Sandham, Daily Telegraph
