For the An Cuan Mòr, which means ‘Big Ocean’ in Gaelic, the whisky is initially matured in a first-fill American white oak bourbon barrel and then finished in European oak casks.

NOSE: Starting with the rich sweetness of figs, moving into a floral flavour of lavender and black pepper developing into sweet natural honey notes.

PALATE: Very peppery, spicy also liquorice root with a slight saltiness. Moving to gentle oak tannins, lovely orange peel and then a dry earthiness

FINISH: Lovely creamy walnuts enveloped by the very distinct Laphroaig peatiness that lasts and lasts.
