Product details
This Islay distillery is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! One of the earliest of the wave of new distilleries this century, when it was founded in 2005 it was the first new distillery on Islay in over 120 years. They grow their own barley (321.22 tonnes of Diablo and Laurette varieties in 2024) and run their own traditional floor maltings, providing about 30% of their needs prior to the latest expansion plans to add a third pair of stills and additional washbacks. All the malt they use is peated to a hearty 50 PPM (phenol parts per million), but distilled to preserve some lighter floral and citrus notes.
This richer offering is the much anticipated limited edition cask strength version of Sanaig, the name given to their predominantly sherry matured style (either finished or fully matured in American oak oloroso sherry hogsheads from Bodegas José y Miguel Martín).
