Insider knowledge: English Whisky Chapter 9 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from England. If distilled in America the spelling would be English Whisky Chapter 9 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Oily and quite robust. Smoky bacon. Hints of sticking plasters, some toffee. A sort of Caol Ila nose, nice gristy sweetness. A touch tropical with a little papaya and coconut ice, then a hint of nougat. Palate: Sweet and very rounded, almost a hint of white chocolate. Very interesting smoke, has a lovely heat to it, reminds us of striking up a match, so thick and creamy, and very, very malty. Notes of vanilla, and butterscotch angel delight. Finish: Nutmeg, cardamom, very good length, and much more fire power that belies its 46% abv. Hints of creamy iced coffee, then hints of agave. ...more
The Master of Malt
Chris' Review
Surprisingly astringent and coastal aromas, which bear more than a passing resemblance to Laphroaig (although not as pungent). Briny and subtly peaty, developing a slight floral top note. Underneath there is a depth of youthful cereal/ barley with a hint of honey and the oak adding a burnt toffee/ caramel/ coffee nuance. Slightly oily with an Irish softness and plenty of sweet, chewy malt along with an almost grainy nip. A touch of floral marc gives away its age as the delicate peat fires up, becoming more coastal and floral on the middle. The finish shows the clean underpinning oak structure although it does grip quite tightly at the end, giving a peppery-bitter finale. Just like in the Chapter 6, it is evolving well and quiet quickly. The oak is only now starting to add character as opposed to taking away, although just like in the Chapter 6 it does bitter out the finish.
