In early 2021, Black Bottle kicked off its Alchemy Series with two tasty whiskies, including this blended Scotch whisky titled Island Smoke (as well as the Double Cask expression)! As you might be able to infer from the name, this is a rather smoky dram – definitely one for the peat fans out there! It offers up whiffs of coastal air, scorched oak, seaweed and more, alongside familiar vanilla-rich sweetness and flashes of spice.
Toasted cedar, earthy peat, subtle toffee and cinnamon hints.
Oatcakes, seaweed, salted caramel, cardamom, red chilli flake.
Lingering salty sea breeze.

After the first taste you are hooked on this fabulous whisky. Really strong peaty taste very similar to Ardbeg but half the price. Definitely one of my favourite whiskey's and a wonderful find. Taste it and be amazed.
I get the mild smokiness of burnt wood, but it is very vanilla, not peaty enough for my palate as I am more used to the likes of Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt. Then, after a couple of minutes when you breathe out through your nose you get the scent of TCP! But, it's a decent enough blended Scotch Whisky for the price
Another excellent Whisky from Black bottle, non-chill filtered and at 46.3 ABV. It is nice and peaty, and in my opinion the peat is just the right amount. Another winner from Black bottle.

Excellent whisky that is as the bottle states, full of flavour, and a powerful peaty punch, at a price that ensures I'll be coming back for more.
