THEN SAVOUR AROMAS OF FLORA & FAUNA GROWING WILD ON THE PEAT-LANDS & COASTLINE OF ISLAY, FOLLOWED BY THE SOFT FRUITS FROM DISTILLATION, THE SWEETNESS OF SUN-DRIED BARLEY, THE CREME-BRULEE NOTES OF CARAMELISED WOOD SUGARS PROVIDED BY THE 100 YEAR OLD AMERICAN OAK. TRANS-PORT YOURSELF TO ISLAY SIMPLY BY CLOSING YOUR EYES AND INHALING. THE KEY TO THIS SPIRIT IS THE UNIQUE CITRUS FRESHNESS OF BARLEY GROWN IN SALTY SOIL. AMAZING.
