An 8 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Islay, bottled for Speciality Drinks' Port Askaig range. Enjoyably smokey and elegant - a neat introduction to the range.
Charcoal, salted crisps and a good squeeze of lemon.
Soft salted caramel brings a sweetness to the palate, with waves of coastal peat smoke crashing underneath.
Medium length, with a hot kick of peppercorn.
Update: After several more tastings I poured it down the sink. What a waste of money.
So I bought this due to the contest here on MOM, and even though I never had this brand of whisky I thought let's just buy it and try it. It has a medium smoke taste and that's about it... It's by far the most bland and boring whisky I ever had.
