Bunnahabhain Staoisha Storm-Kelpie Sea Shepherd 7 Year Old, Dechar/Rechar Hogshead Cask, 2014, Signatory Vintage, 46%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

The citrus and sea-spray notes give this a brighter edge, though ash and campfire smoke are clearly the main event. I’d lean toward it for a coastal, peaty style rather than a fresh, light one.
