Hobbister takes its name from the distillery’s peat moor. Lying seven short miles from the distillery, the exposed and barren moor offers little cover from the ferocious winds that frequently batter the island. While this environment creates a unique aromatic peat consisting of decaying heather and plants. Rather than the trees that characterise the peat used by other distilleries.
   Nose:   Ripening lemon, sandalwood and green apple skins.
   Taste:   Vanilla, ginger, star anise, liquorice and charcoal.
   Finish:   Spicy, sweet with lingering sweet smokiness.
