A bit like that delicious 'Secret' whisky with the handsome chap on the front saying "Shhh!", this Islay single malt shall remain shrouded in mystery. Gosh darn it. I just gave away the island it's from, didn't I? Hmm... Lucky there are no further clues on the label...
Tasting notes:
Nose: Rich linseed, fennel seeds, cornflakes, a slice of lemon and a little soot from the mine!
Palate: Yellow plum and fragrant spice with oily mouthfeel and that sooty character never far away.
Finish: Long with cask char, wood smoke and a touch of lingering cumin.
