J’écrivais ici même en 2014 : Je vous laisse pratiquer sur un blended whisky non filtré qui n’est pas seulement qu’une formidable affaire, mais offre, en raison de son pourcentage élevé de malt (40 %) et sa pointe légèrement tourbée, passablement de caractère mais aussi de complexité.

Certaines huîtres en raffolent ! Il demeure incontestablement en 2022 mon whisky écossais assemblé préféré.

Product notes
A blend of more flavoursome malt whisky and lighter grain whiskies blended to give a taste of the Hebridean islands. The blend includes a high proportion of Highland and Island malts.

Production notes
Real Whisky as it used to be! In keeping with traditional methods, our whiskies are “un-chilled filtered”. The Gaelic Whiskies have pioneered the re-introduction of this process, the authentic production method used originally by the Gaels when they first invented whisky. In using this method we retain all of the natural ingredients in our whiskies, resulting in a smoother, softer flavour. The Gaelic Whiskies are recognized by the most discerning connoisseurs and have made a reputation for themselves at the top end of the quality market.
