Expert Review

8.5/10

Limited-edition peated blended malt first released 2006 — the first whisky to combine Scotch aged in new French oak with Islay peat smoke. Heavily-peated malts matured in ex-bourbon barrels, re-charred hogsheads, and custom French oak. 48.9%, non-chill filtered. A landmark Compass Box release.
