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.
lovely tasting blend for the price. would buy again.
Nose: heavily smokey, bittersweet, hints of apple cider. Palate: smoke, peat, and oh so rough, the spirit in this one has been rushed. A lot. Feels like your throat is getting ripped open by acid. Practically undrinkable. Finish: unfortunately the spirit lingers a long time... I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Unless for an enemy, and in which case why buy anything for them? A waste of money, and a shame considering all the nice things I've heard about it. :(
For the price it is a must buy. Delicious and savory. Also, don't know why but on my bottle it says 43%, not 40% as stated here.
good value....surprisingly good scotch
well said joe boy , ditto ditto ditto
