The An Linnean Blend
Following our trip to the 2012 Feis Ile Festival on Islay we procured a number of festival favourites and blended them together into this rather delicious peaty blended malt whisky.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet phenolic peat, grist, bark and driftwood at first then come warm winter berries, sun-dried tomato and cooked pasta; finally brine surfaces majestically.
Palate
Peat, chilli flakes and brine crash over the palate initially, followed by cranberries, pain au chocolat and menthol in a top note heavy flavour profile.
Finish
Long and clean with angelica root and menthol at the front of the mouth and ashy peat at the back. The finish is extraordinarily long suggesting there may be some older whisky in this exceptional blended malt?
Overall
A complex orchestra of coastal peat. The nose is ripe with peat and brine, the palate is chocolatey and sooty, and the finish is long, clean and palate cleansing. This is what Islay is all about!
