Comments:
The very first whisky from the new Abhainn Dearg distillery on the isle of Lewis. Delicately spiced with hints of cardamom and sandalwood (north Indian food anyone?), and a strong buttery, slightly salty finish, almost ghee-like. This is very promising whisky indeed.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
