The outturn is reported to be around 4,200 bottles. As with the rest of the series, there's zero chill filtration. 46.8% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... "We're starting with some charcoal, rock pools and salty sea spray, followed by hints of polished leather and sal ammoniac, but also damp forest floor. The citrus is rather pleasant too. The palate is a little less impressive with a slight sour and rubber-y note. More peaty than you'd expect at this age as well." 89 points - distiller.com
