4. Ailsa Bay
For: Purveyors of peat
Story: A light, peaty whisky from Girvan (where curling stones come from). It’s very unusual to have a peaty whisky distilled outside Islay. The peatiness comes from its maturation in micro bourbon barrels, which accelerates the maturation process.
Taste: Vanilla and maple syrup notes.
