An Aba, Lightly Peated Whisky

An Aba, Lightly Peated Whisky

Whiskymaker's Signature Selection

Kentucky Bourbon, Spanish Oloroso, Portuguese Red Wine, Spanish Pedro Ximénez & Virgin American Oak

PPM: 15

An Aba, our lightly peated sherried signature expression, was crafted from a select marrying of Kentucky Bourbon casks, Spanish Oloroso barriques, Portuguese shaved, toasted, re-charred (STR) red wine barriques, Virgin American oak casks, and Spanish Pedro Ximénez casks.

Experience light peat on the nose, including fresh pine and oak, orange liqueur, lemon sherbet, rum and raisin fruit cake, liquorice, vanilla sponge cake, ripe banana, gooseberry, red currant, dried mango and milk chocolate.

The lush creamy mouthfeel, light peat, burnt heather and bonfire embers, leading to prunes, dried figs and apricots.

The palate unfolds with malted milk, stewed apples, peaches, blooming heather, lavender and daffodils, evolving into linseed oil, marzipan, lingering oak and a dry, light peat finish with an essence of the seaside, befitting our island location.

Lightly peated at 15 ppm, with BC barley smoked at the distillery over Washington State peat. Our Peated Whisky Guide covers ppm, peat terroir and which peated whisky to try first.

Definite notes of apple citrus and chocolate almost like a chocolate orange that you smash before opening! Beautiful dark amber colour, minimal peat
With water notes of distinct green apples and earthy flavours
Very interesting!

We had a fantastic, enjoyable and educational experience! Learned a lot about the history of the distillery, and ended up buying quite a few bottles on our way out.

A very enjoyable whisky with just the right amount of peat that allows you to enjoy the slight smokiness without being overwhelming.

Absolutely 5 stars! Think of a hybrid of Lagavulin 16, Aberlour 12 and perhaps a Dalwhinnie 15. Lots going on ... the bouquet, taste and smoothness are lovely!

An excellent whiskey. Lighted peated with an excellent flavor. I’ll buy that again.
