What makes a whisky “smooth”?
A smooth whisky offers gentle sweetness, soft spice and a rounded mouthfeel without harsh edges. It’s approachable, balanced and easy to enjoy neat or with a splash of water.
Our unpeated, sherry-led expressions such as 12 Year Old deliver natural smoothness with rich fruit, caramel and subtle coastal notes.

Are smooth whiskies peated or unpeated?
They’re typically unpeated, allowing sweetness, fruit and gentle spice to take centre stage without the intensity of smoke.
What’s the best whisky for someone who prefers lighter flavours?
Choose an unpeated expression with sherry influence - these offer a soft, inviting profile ideal for those who enjoy lighter, sweeter drams.
How does coastal ageing influence smoothness?
Our seaside warehouses help develop gentle saltiness and softness over time, adding balance and complexity without overwhelming the palate.
