Secret Islay Distillery 31 Year Old 1990 Single Cask (Master of Malt) (52.6%)
This is a true secret. Which distillery is this from? We don't know. This isn't one of those 'we can't disclose for commercial reasons' deals. This 31-year-old single cask from Islay gives away some clues in its peaty style and age, but after that, you'll need to do some detective work and trust your palate. What's certain is what an absolute belter this one is. A release of 283 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sea air, streaky bacon, rich smoke, lemon peels, and thyme honey with toasted almonds, soft vanilla, and drying peppery spice.
Palate
Crunchy brown sugar, ash, vanilla cheesecake, and a complex blend of sweetened coffee and Christmas pudding fruit. Underneath there’s oak char and a little damp wooden furniture.
Finish
Lemon cough sweets and whispers of smoke.
