Mossburn Island Blended Malt / 46% / 0.7l

Mossburn Distillers & Blenders is a subsidiary of the Dutch group Marussia Beverages BV, founded in 2013.

They own the Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye (distilling since January 2017) and are the publisher of the whisky. Mossburn Island Blended Malt debuted in 2018 as part of the Signature Casks series. It is a blend of single malts from undisclosed distilleries based on the Scottish islands. All components were originally aged in American oak barrels and after blending finished in specially designed "Mossburn casks" (variant no. 1). These are fresh ex-bourbon casks with European oak bottoms that have undergone a heavy toasting. The whisky is bottled with natural colour and without chill filtration.

Aroma: peat smoke, sea breeze, vanilla, milk fudge, buttery croissants, apples, pears, traces of allspice and hay.

Palate: smoky and pleasantly spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, vanilla, caramel, apples, peaches and light oak notes.

Finish: medium long, with notes of peat smoke, summer fruits, white pepper, croutons and oak.
