Like metal bands, some whiskies need an audience - others command one.

Flaming Heart has always enjoyed performing for passionate fans, so its 7th reunion will celebrate oak, smoke and fire merging into a pyrotechnic display of exhilaration.

At the centre is a power trio of peated malts from Caol Ila, Laphraoig and Talisker, while the trademark French oak casks used deliver both volume and a luxurious mouthfeel.

Born from a love of past smoky riffs brought into a new arrangement - probably the fruitiest Flaming Heart in recent years.

The Flaming Heart Limited Edition 2022 is now the seventh edition of this iconic series, which was first released in 2006. Inspired by classic rock ballads, this whisky brings with it a fiery combination of powerful Islay smoke and rich sherry cask influences. The careful blending of whiskies from recharred American oak casks, sherry casks and French oak casks gives it its distinctive complexity.
