Islay 8 Year Old - As We Get It (Ian Macleod)
An 8 year old, cask strength single malt from an unnamed Islay distillery. This has been left at cask strength, non chill-filtered so Ian Macleod bottle it "as they got it"…
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Cloves crash into the sinuses first followed by the gentle caress of toffee which in turn is followed by a sweet peatiness that warns of the storm to come.
Palate
Spicy with strong peat,then there is a touch of medicinal orange rolls over the palate.
Finish
Coal smoke at first, a pleasing bitterness then emerges, with a long nutty conclusion.
Overall
This dram has flavours that intrigue, ones that assaulted and others that soothed. Great stuff indeed!
