From Angels' Nectar comes this Islay Edition, which, as you may have suspected already, is a peated single malt. It hails from an undisclosed distillery on the island, and has been aged for five years in bourbon barrels. The whisky is presented at 47% ABV in a rather striking black and gold bottle. Angels' Nectar is named for the angels' share, the name given to the whisky lost to evaporation during the ageing process.
Charred lemon peel, with barley sugar and peat smoke alongside cured meats.
Digestive biscuits and waxy lemon peel, with floral honey and a medicinal iodine note.
Sea air and vanilla, with bonfire smoke and mineral maritime notes lingering.
Much prefer Caol Ila or even Laphroaig for true peaty goodness. Disappointing at the price.
