Safe Haven 2014 6YO, Murray McDavid Casks #2013301-2013306
From a distillery first built in 1798, off the west coast of Scotland, this is a youthful single malt bursting with beautifully heavy peat. Their mystery offering is a spirit known by the original distillery name, meaning 'safe haven'. This outstanding malt will put a smile on the face of every peat lover and its origin might surprise you . . .
By using the spirit whilst young, they have captured the best of its heavy, peaty character. This spirit has spent the last 6 months maturing in PX sherry casks from their partners Bodegas Ximénez-Spinola, in Jerez, Spain. These casks have added deeper flavours to complement this rare smoky spirit. A mystery malt to puzzle, delight and reward.
