The first release from Skye's first new distillery in over 190 years. Only the second legal distillery to operate on the gorgeous Isle on the western coast of Scotland, the first drops of spirit filled barrels here in January of 2017. The most difficult part of creating a new single malt is developing the house style, a characteristic that is the result of both art and science. Their goal was to create a distinctive character that capture the wonderous surroundings. After many trials, they settled on a heavily peated style that prioritizes richness and balance over power. Distilled from 100% concerto barley peated to between 55-60 ppm phenol. Fermentation was completed with Pinnacle MG+ yeast and the malt spirit was filled into first fill ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled without chill-filtration or coloring at an approachable 92 proof, the final phenol in the bottled spirits is 16 ppm. This limited release consists of just 100 barrels that were distilled in the very first few months of operations. Just 1000 cases of this unique expression were exported to the United States and a only a few cases were allocated for the Massachusetts Market. This will be a telling sign of the potential this new distillery has to offer the malt loving community and certainly stands up nicely to many of the other young malts on the market today.
