The Tasting Order

Lightest first, smoke last.

Peat lingers on the palate, so we've numbered the drams. Scan a bottle's own label — or tap it here — for its cask, its notes, and its distillery.

Southern HighlandGlengoyne 14Unpeated and orchard-sweet — the flight's baseline dram. Taste it first, and let it set the scale for everything that follows.Open the Bottle Page →

IslayBunnahabhain 14Islay without the smoke — sea salt, walnut and dark fruit carried in off the Sound. Proof that the island is more than peat.Open the Bottle Page →

Orkney · IslandHighland Park 14Heather honey, sea spray, and a curl of Orkney peat smoke — the flight's one smoky dram, bottled a short walk from our own door.Open the Bottle Page →

Between drams: a sip of still water and a plain oatcake reset the palate.
