Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Islay

Created by Dariusz Plazewski, the owner of England’s Bimber distillery, The Dava Way Project is named in reference to the famous 24-mile trail between the Scottish towns of Grantown-on-Spey and Forres in Speyside. But that doesn’t stop this independent range from venturing off-piste and, where necessary, setting its sights on Islay. If we had to describe this Caol Ila’s flavour and aroma palette in just a few words, they would undoubtedly be “unusual”, “captivating”, “temperamental” and “anti-conformist”.
