Single malt from Ailsa Craig, founded in 2007 with a capacity of 12,000,000 litres on the same site as Girvan. Several styles of malt whisky are produced there, from sweet and light to heavier and more sulphury (two stills have steel condenser rather than copper) as well as peated styles up to 50ppm.
Custard and some phenolic ash, some Big Red too, becoming more chalky and cereal driven with subtle golden syrup. As the producer's notes state, bacon then emerges.
Undoubtedly meaty 'n' peaty. More of that chalky cereal (dry muesli?) and golden syrup with Big Red in support.
Sweet, smoky and drying. More Big Red with vanilla.
The Big Red (spicy cinnamon sweets) are an ever-present but never threaten to dominate this sweet peaty treat.
When it comes to single malts, I'm an Islay guy, through and through. Peat, smoke, and big, full whiskys are my thing. I was lead to Alisa Bay by a wonderful woman at The Whisky Store in London, when I asked for something as big and character-ful as my beloved Ardbeg and Laphroaig. This is every bit as full of character, but much smoother and "lighter" overall. My friends who just can't handle the Islays find the Alisa Bay very nice. I treasure this bottle, and do not share it with people who do not already know their single malts. This is one of the special ones I take out, only for those who truly appreciate a finer single malt!
I think if I liked the flavor of jet fuel I’d be happier with this
Got this as a gift from here a few years ago. Been trying to get a bottle ever since. Amazing
OMG, this is single malt perfection!!! Highly recommended.
A very good whisky, the peat & sweet go hand in hand to create the most perfectly balanced whisky I have tried, if this is the first bottling then it's really one to watch
