zoals de naam al doet vermoeden vult deze Islay Single Malt Whisky de neus niet alleen met turfrook, maar eerst ook met bloeiende heide, hazelnoten, vers gesneden rozen en honing.

Manzanilla sherry is afkomstig uit Sanlucar de Barrameda, gelegen aan de monding van de Guadalquivir rivier aan de Atlantische oceaan. Manzanilla is een fino sherry, waarbij gedroogd fruit als kersen en rozijnen een voorname rol spelen.
