This right here is a superb ten-year-old single malt Scotch whisky, distilled by an undisclosed distillery on Epidion. Now, if you look at a map of Scotland, you're unlikely to see Epidion on there, unless it's an extraordinarily out of date map. Y'see, Epidion is the name that was recorded for Islay by mathematician and geographer Ptolemy all the way back in the 100s. It feels sort of weird to write the 100s like it's the 1980s, but it's technically correct, and that's when Ptolemy was alive, so we're going with it.
Anyway, yes, Epidion is a very old name for Islay, hence why it has been used as the name for this fabulous Islay whisky! Now you can enjoy smoky single malt and use archaic names for an island like you're a time traveller. Maybe you could wear some sort of exciting hat to further the idea that you are unstuck from the constraints of time?
Waves of earthy peat arrive first, with deeper hints of sherried malt tucked away behind the savoury smoke.
Roasted barley and bonfire embers, honeyed sweetness building with a touch of cooked apple, chocolate raisins, and sea salt.
Lingering vanilla and cask char, plus a hint of nutmeg warmth.
Smokiness aplenty, with balancing sweetness keeping it from becoming a bit too much.
A interesting whisky, it has notes possibly of wet smokey wood, not harsh quite smooth, Bourbon American oak casks. Would I buy it again, yes I think I would.
Gorgeous after taste with a delightful linger. Not as "in your face" as a Laphroaig or Ardbeg, which incidentally I adore, but quality, quality
Absolutely stands up to the likes of Laphroaig (which I love) - will be buying more.
