A malt that dares to be truly oaky. Thank heavens for boldness and individuality in a world where blandness is always an easier option. This beautiful old distillery is Chivas showpiece, but it is more than a pretty face.

- Peat, Gengle
- Body
- Medium power, but full bodied and wet
- Palate
- Peat, Lots of oak.

It took me by surprise by being very much like a well balanced Islay with some extra wood. Well balanced and easy.
