The Journey Series of the independent bottler Hunter Laing contains blended malts, which are composed of the respective Scotch whiskey regions. A statement of the distillery and the age is waived, but all bottlings are both on a cold filtration and dyes. The journey to Islay is not easy, it takes time, but the island, like its whisky, is worth the effort. Hunter Laing Distillery has been making this journey for generations and will continue to do so in order to source some of the best malt whiskies from Islay. Whiskies from the very best distilleries on the legendary Isle of Islay are selected for this outstanding blend of fine Scotch malt whisky. The balance of smoothness and complexity of flavor and aroma comes from the blend of whiskies, some of which are aged in bourbon hogheads. Tasting notes:Color: amber. Nose: Notes of smoke, ash, salt.
