Caisteal Chamuis Mossburn Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

The same island-composed blend, in a younger edition with no age statement.

Expert description

Caisteal Chamuis Mossburn Island Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is the house's approachable no-age-statement edition, composed of single malts from several of Scotland's island distilleries, 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.
