Breath of Islay 12

This "Breath of Islay" was distilled at a secret Islay distillery in 1999. It was aged for 12 years in cask 5877 and was bottled by Adelphi in 2011. A lovely whisky with an out-turn of 329 bottles.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Creamy and sweet with notes of vanilla and a thick core of cool wood smoke, old ropes, spice and sticking plasters. A classic Islay nose for sure!

Palate Pine resin, smoke and ginger, notes of marmalade, burnt granary toast with butter, samphire and butterscotch. Quite a big dollop of peat too.

Finish Good length with spices and peat smoke.

Very good
By far one of the best Islay whiskies I've had! Still can't tell for sure where it's from...
