Filthy Smoke
Scotland
Single Malt
Different people like a lot of different qualities in their whisky. Perhaps you know someone who likes honeyed Speysiders, or grassy Lowland single malts. However, what you've done here is click on a whisky called Filthy Smoke, so there's a chance you like your whiskies to have a certain muckiness to them, and were hoping that was what this one is all about. If so, you are indeed in luck. This is a 10 year old Islay single malt, packed with earthy, peaty notes, which has been finished in sherry casks that were specially selected for their robust, gunpowdery, somewhat sulphury elements. It's those notes that add the eponymous filthiness to this smoky sipper, and it certainly lives up to its name.
Big, intense medicinal peat. Toasted granary bread with a later suggestion of raspberry jam, spent match, a hint of BBQ sauce sweetness and dry-rubbed ribs.
Grilled tropical fruit with a touch of char, pink peppercorn, damp wood, flamed orange peel, still has that subtle spent match hint to it underneath.
Baked earth, five-spice, lasting smokiness with just a smidge of toffee apples on bonfire night.
Thankfully it's not like taking a bite out of the ground - it's a well-put-together whisky, just with a good helping of muckiness at its core.
Gifted this to my husband last Christmas. Very different than his usual type but he absolutely loved it!
Wanted a quirky bottle,&this definitely hit the spot. Fab flavour& definitely a good buy. Medicine style bottle with graffiti style logo,stands out over all the others! Came super quick& packaged really well.
Great fan of Ardbeg/Laphoraig/Scarabus Islays and was really looking forward to taking a dram of this at Christmas. Very disapointed. Taste is different from person to person but I found this like a badly banked coalfire. In fact I did something that I could not imagine me ever contemplating with malt - I poured it away!
I am slightly disappointed in this, firstly I did not notice it was only a 50cl bottle, then when I opened it I was expecting something special. There is nothing wrong with it, it is a decent Islay malt, but nothing special to live up to the hype and not worth it for a smaller bottle.
I plumbed for this on offer as big fan of Smokey whisky. I’m a ardberg, laphroaeg (can’t spell it) drinker. This was my first foray into these small brands and I was blown away by how impressive it was. Very drinkable. Give it a try. Would 100% but again.
