Production, ageing notes & comments

20 March, 2025

As you may know Dan has spent a lot of time with his one true love, Islay! Over the last few decades he’s ventured over there countless times and got his hands dirty in many a distillery whilst sporting a huge smile. This Highwayman expression sees Dan paying homage to Islay with a peated spirit being aged in 2nd fill bourbon barrels. As always it’s bottled unfiltered at a cask strength of 55% yielding 130 bottles.

Dan Woolley.
