Highland Single Malt · Est. 1974
SLIABH
slee-av · Gaelic for mountain
It begins as barley. One farm. One harvest a year. Cut at dawn and malted within the week, while the sun is still in it.
Scroll — eighteen years await↓
II · The stills
Copper does the talking.
Two stills, raised in 1974 and never replaced. The curve of the neck decides a spirit's character — ours runs slow, and speaks softly.
III · The filling
Clear as rain, for the last time.
New-make spirit meets charred oak at 63.5%. It will not see daylight again for eighteen years.
IV · The sleep
Eighteen years of weather.
The warehouse breathes — summer swells the oak, winter draws it back. Two percent leaves the casks each year. The angels take their share; we forgive them.
V · The liquid
What time tastes like.
- Dried apricot · toasted oak
- Sea salt · heather honey
- A long, unhurried finish
VI · The serve
One sphere. Two fingers. No hurry.
Ice carved slow enough to melt slower. The first pour is for the nose; the second is yours.
