Islay in its freest version

With this Islay Secret release, The Roots deliberately adopts a discreet approach to the precise origin, allowing the whisky to express itself without the influence of a distillery name. The emphasis is on style, character, and balance, rather than the label.

Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2025, this single malt embodies a straightforward interpretation of Islay, driven by peat, iodine, and a distinct maritime character. The robust alcohol content preserves the aromatic intensity while offering a structured and clear tasting experience. True to its philosophy, The Roots delivers an unadorned whisky, focused on the purity of the spirit.
