I tasted this whisky at the Saratoga Whisky Club Tasting # 57 - Highland Scotch Virtual Track Tasting. It was matured in a refill American Hosghead. Despite the fact that I have categorized this whisky as being from the Islands, the Islands are not an officially-recognized Scotch region. They are part of the Highlands; and hence this whisky was included in the Highlands tasting by the club.
