Single Malt
Scotland
Yes
A cask strength whisky, bottled by Speciality Drinks, this single malt from a secret Islay distillery (presumably one near Port Askaig) has a distinctive citrussy sweetness and oily smoke.
This beats Caol Ila hands down. Nose is smokey and a bit fruity, add a little water and wait for it to open up. Dark chocolate, peat and fruit arises. Long lasting finish. Great stuff for this money.
Hints of ethanol and smoke. Added water and tasted slightly more strongly of ethanol. Suspect may have had a brief liaison with some oak but almost certainly virgin. Given I like peat in whisky, was very odd to find absolutely nothing to like.
