Blind Summit – Secret Islay 8yr Virgin Oak Finish 50cl
Product Information
Secret Islay 8 Year Old is a rare and boldly characterful single malt, distilled on 30 January 2017 in South Islay and limited to just 160 bottles. Initially matured in refill bourbon casks, it was then reracked into an ex-rum, ex-cider cask gifted by Futtle Brewery—previously used by Little Pomona—before a final finishing in virgin oak. Bottled at 56.7% ABV, the nose bursts with smoky Islay bonfire, white pepper, stewed apples, vanilla pod and pine. The palate is surprisingly soft, offering salty seaweed, kippers, yellow toffee apples and rum cake, with a long, smoky finish. A truly distinctive and experimental Islay dram.

Nose – Very sweet on the nose. Initially it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness.
Palate – A sweet start on the palate. The alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is there still, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint.
Finish – A deep and dark finish.

Arran 10yo 5cl

The classic expression of Arran – the fresh and unique island style is captured beautifully in this 10 Year Old Single Malt. The initial rush of rich vanilla sweetness gives way to a touch of cinnamon which adds a spicy edge to the soft and sweet texture. The classic Arran citrus notes have rounded with age and reveal new depths of character against a background of sweet oak.
