Pour it neat or with a few drops of water to calm the smoke and bring out the sweeter notes, or use it in a smoky highball with soda. It pairs well with smoked salmon, oysters, blue cheese or barbecued meats.
- Islay single malt Scotch whisky
- Bottled by Ian Macleod Distillers
- Heavily peated, presented in a gift box
The nose is full of thick peat smoke, with lapsang souchong tea, damp earth, white pepper and a little honey. The palate is softer than the nose suggests, bringing smoky, fruity sweetness with vanilla, butterscotch and a touch of sherry and sultana, before a long, peppery and smoky finish with a salty, seaweed edge.
A good bottle for peat lovers and anyone who wants a bold Islay malt without paying for an age statement, and an easy gift for a smoky whisky fan.
