29/10/11 Abhainn Dearg 3yo
Well, something completely new today.
Abhainn Dearg (pronounced Aveen Jarræk) is the first legal ‘still in the Western Isles, at Uig on Lewis to be precise.
Freshly baked seeded granary bread, gristy and toasty. Oats, honey, buttered toast, granny smiths, the lightest tang of young earthy damp peat.
Rubbing the spirit on my palms and cupping them over my nose reveals ginger and vanilla in the oak.
It’s clean and tasty and complex and really quite delightful.
4/5, I’m very excited to try more of this as the years pass.
