Frasers Islay Reserve Bottling Note
Part of the Frasers selection range from Gordon and MacPhail, this is the Islay expression, matured in refill American hogsheads.
The nose is of good body with a defined sweetness. There are some notes of tar and hemp, a cigar leaf character, an iodine note and a touch of cold smoke. The palate is quite full-bodied but rather smooth. There are notes of peat and toasty oak, a touch of seaweed and some tar, a little salty butter and iodine. The finish is rich and long with a good sweetness.
