When two powerful pearls meet

Islay

Please limit one (1) bottle per member

Smoky grilled shrimps with Marie Rose sauce, smoked salmon roses and watermelon with prosciutto ham were the starters before we took a sip. The main course was smoked tuna served with Panzanella (Tuscan chopped salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar) which gave it a truly Mediterranean feel. With a drop of water, aromatic peat smoke, rocky shores, sea spray as well as fish boxes and tarry ropes – quintessential Islay! On the palate now, wave after wave of caressing sweet smoke from Hebridean peat-smoked scallops, maybe even with a drizzle of Madeira jus. After six years in an ex-bourbon barrel we transferred this whisky into refill Madeira hogshead.
