No other new make reaches the same level of intense spiciness which is perceived on the tongue as salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spicy character is driven initially by a hotter than usual second water during the quick mashing regime which cuts back any overt nuttiness. Fermentation is short and the steeply angled lyne arms on the stills help to capture weightier elements. An underlying waxiness flashes a signal to another coastal plant, Clynelish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in 1871 by Alexander Wilson, this is one of the few distilleries to have been owned by the local town council which stepped in to save the plant in 1936 when the Wilson family went bankrupt. Two years later, Arthur Bell bought it for the princely sum of £3,000.
