Product description
Tùsail debuted in 2015 as the sixth edition in the renowned Private Edition series . While previous editions focused primarily on different types of casks, in the case of Tùsail the main actor is the barley variety.
The whisky was distilled from winter Maris Otter, a variety introduced in 1965 and used primarily in the brewing industry. Maris Otter grains have less starch and more protein, meaning a fuller palette of flavours, but at the cost of performance. Tùsail translates from the Gaelic for ‘source’, the whisky was aged in bourbon barrels and bottled unchill-filtered at 46% ABV.

Finish: medium long, malty, vanilla, toffee, green apples and a delicate note of spice.
