Description
This Micro brewery opened in September 2004. It is a 5 barrel plant. The waters for making Cuillin ales are drawn from the river who's source is just above Coire a Bhasteir, the waters running down from the Cuillin gathering minerals and peat on their way to Sligachan where the slightly peated waters are used to give Cuillin beers their distinctive flavour and colouring.

Bottle picked up at Misty Bottle, Isle of Skye. It pours darkest brown to black with a small beige head. The aroma is warming, roasty, warming smoke, bonfire, slightly medicinal, peated whisky, dark chocolate, dried fruits, gateaux, vanilla cake frosting and fruit cake. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, smoked action, peated whisky, toothy, chewy, dark chocolate, medicinal, chocolate cookies, brownies, light umami, touch savoury, saline, liquorice, spice and a touch of umami with a dry, toasty finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Plenty of flavour given the abv. Fun stuff.
