Islay Journey
To accompany Highland Journey, Hunter Laing have gone and released Islay Journey, a blended malt marrying Islay whiskies! Getting to Islay isn't the easiest trip, so now you can transport yourself there slightly easier with a sip of this smoky whisky, which has been matured in bourbon hogsheads. This one certainly packs a maritime punch.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Hefty aromas of peat smoke, a flint-y minerality, sea breeze and bonfire ash, with a burst of red berry and vanilla sweetness.
Palate
Hallmark notes of earthy peat, sea spray and mineral-heavy seaweed, with icing sugar and creamier notes of vanilla and milk chocolate.
Finish
Medium length, with a sprinkle of sea salt and a dash of fresh citrus.
