The Six Isles Voyager is a blended malt featuring whiskies from six different Scottish islands, produced by Ian Macleod. An enjoyably coastal expression, with wafts of peat and sea breeze drifting through the well-rounded, robustly malty elements.
Soft heathery smoke notes, with oat cakes and sea salt in support. Fruity notes of apple and apricot develop later on.
Oily malt with vanilla and buttered bread, plus more salty notes and smouldering peat.
A balanced finish of brown sugar and savoury oak.
Overall a very good dram. Light smoke, a little honey. But just a bit less character than I was hoping for. Worth the price, but lacking a bit of adventure.
Anyone who says blends aren’t worth bothering with hasn’t tried this! A lovely malt blend with a punch of flavor that varies each mouthful. A favorite of mine. Highly recommend!!
