Nose

Fragrant citrus fruit oils and cut grass. Freshly cut hay and chamomile develop into an earthiness. Soft bitter notes drift into roasted coffee beans and soft malt.

Taste

Toasted hazelnuts develop into warm baked apple pie. Baking spices linger and finish with a soft peppery prickle. With water added becomes dry with a whisper of smoke, beeswax note mid-palate

Finish

Long -Medium finish, quite dry. Cut grass, oily herbal notes. Vanilla lingers afterwards. Great waxy balanced finish.

The Ghost of Clanyard Bay, Chapter 8: Fairies

The Fable brand is built on storytelling, art and illustration. They aim to set the imagination free and open up the charming and romantic world of fine independent whiskies. 

An independent bottler who is far from the ordinary, Fable bring legendary myths to life through arts and animation, showcasing hand selected single malts with distinctive taste and intriguing character.

Their first instalment dives into the legend of 'The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay', a story hailing from the south west coast of Scotland, close to Stranraer.

Fable have collaborated with artist Hugo Cuellar to design the labels, characters and scenes, creating the enchanted world that forms a set of eleven chapter releases.

This is chapter 8/11, representing the wicked fairies that lurk in the cave below Clanyard Bay. It is embodied by a 13 year old Teaninich, a highland spirit with a nutty, earthy goodness.

This 13 year old hogshead was bottled at a cask strength ABV of 53.3%, with zero chill filtration and no added colouration... just the way we like it!
