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.
As an 80 year old lifelong teetotaller woman I am now unable to go to bed without my small tot of Isle of Skye eight year old whisky. A lovely smooth taste which does not burn the throat. Only wish it was more easily available in supermarkets and other shops.
ich habe diese flasche bestellt, weil ich interessiert war, zu erfahren, wie sie schmeckt. Ich bin überrascht von diesem feinen Tropfen,. ***** Sterne
You can tell it contains talisker but it is muted and softened by other island and speyside malts. Lovely blend worth £15 I paid and as good as some malts
Absolutely beautiful, tried it recently and loved the taste of the 8 year old, will buy again... tried lots and this is my favourite so far. cheers!
Cracking see whisky
