Ailsa Bay

Upon first-tasting, this splendid little Single Malt deftly bats aside the conventional wisdom that Lowland Malts should be soft, delicate and grassy. Although not a thick, chewy whisky, the winning combination of excellent quality American white oak casks and moderately-peated barley, mean this is certainly no shy, retiring Lowland flower. Small barrels have given juicy marzipan and sweet woodiness to the nose, whilst the finish fades very nicely with gentle smoke.
