Islay Storm
Single Malt
An Islay single malt from a secret distillery, Islay Storm has loads of peaty character.
Peat smoke, oily, briny, some malt.
Sweet rush initially, then onto medicinal peat and seaweed, some bourbon notes, spices, custard.
Smoke, long and spiced.
Lovely easy drinking malt peat and smoke on the nose and slightly spicy and sweet on the palate
Talisker with less brine and salt? Oily bit thin palate growa in waves with a long lingering wave of smoke, dark salted caramel and a hint of liquorice. Just dont want to be without it. I like Laphroaig and Arbeg but this cheaper and less aggresive. The perfect opposite to Fruity orchard and citrus packed dram
Top value. Light but smoky. Have tasted better but not at this price.
Was very surprised with its clear Islay taste. I'll save the Ardbeg for myself and share this with my cigar buddies. I give it 4 stars as a scotch, but it's a 10 for the price.
Not bad. A little too young to have much character, but pretty good for the price (~$25 at Trader Joe's). Of course here in Kentucky you can find a better American whiskey for $25, Old Grand-dad Bonded bourbon is superb, but in this environment $25 for a single malt scotch is a steal. (In NYC I'd think somebody must've stolen it.) If this is what a "generic" Islay is like it's too bad my budget won't cover better (or at least pricier) examples of the species; I've seen 2 or 3 big-name Islays at various local Liquor Barns, but so far comparisons are silly.
