Our Secret Stills Highland 15 year came about rather in reverse fashion than most of my private casks. Rather than start with a distillery and select a flavor, I started with a flavor and found a distillery. I wanted to find a rare style of single malt: old fashioned Highland, the way Highland whiskies tasted 100 years ago, smokier, bolder, bigger. I assigned the mission to Gordon & MacPhail, telling them I didn't care which distillery it came from, as long as it met those terms and nailed that flavor. They took me at my word—and sent a smashing dram from a secret distillery! (a hint on the back label gives it away, if you do your homework.) Sure enough, the robust smokiness (though it is not particularly peaty) takes you back to 1910. If a space alien came to Earth and asked for a dram, this would be my introduction to Scotch whisky.
