This eight-year-old blend from Ian Macleod has been dubbed Isle of Skye, with the blend based around malt whisky from the Islands and Speyside. Particularly that famous whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye! The blend is very well regarded among whisky critics, making it something of a bargain!
Quite smoky on the nose, with crème anglaise, digestive biscuits, and hints of cocoa powder.
Sweet and creamy with gooey sticky toffee pudding, gingerbread, fruitcake, and sherried spices among a little more smoke and sea.
Nutty and spicy, with almond oil and black pepper.
Unbelievable drink for the price. Really enjoyable and great for a beginner.
Quite a lot of Talisker in this, IMHO. And I've been a Talisker aficionado for 50 years. Lovely stuff at a great price.
Love its smooth taste
Awesome whisky it has become one of my favourites
Had this fine whisky whilst I was up innverness. Amongst other whisky. But this is the one I remember most.
