A blended malt released as part of the Diageo Special Releases 2018 – only the second time a blended malt has made up part of the line-up. Cladach means 'coastline' and the whisky runs with that theme, using only single malts made at coastal distilleries: Inchgower, Clynelish, Talisker, Oban, Caol Ila and Lagavulin. It's a dram that shouts about the seaside, balancing maritime character with soft smoke and fruit.
Palate:
Peat leads but is quickly pushed to the back. The whisky is built around a sweet centre of boiled sweets and apple sauce, surrounded by salt and freshly ground black pepper. A tingle of sherbet leads to zesty waxed lemons and sweet orange.
