Expert description

Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old Mossburn Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is an age-stated blended malt from Mossburn, composed of single malts from several of Scotland's island distilleries, matured for at least 12 years, bottled at 46%. Mossburn Distillers was founded in 2012 to bring together the Eaux de Vie group's whisky interests. Rather than operating a single distillery, Mossburn is behind two Scottish distilleries — the peated island distillery Torabhaig on the Isle of Skye and the Lowland distillery Reivers — as well as a substantial portfolio of independent bottlings from other Scottish distilleries, composed and selected by the company's own blenders.
