This bold and rebellious dram embraces the rich maritime character of Islay, before taking an unexpected turn with its refreshing, zesty, and slightly tropical tequila influence.

Crafted for those who crave big flavours and unconventional whisky experiences, Terminado challenges expectations by melding smoky Islay tradition with the bright, citrusy vibrancy of tequila barrels. Bottled at 43% ABV, this is an unapologetically daring whisky for drinkers who refuse to play it safe.
