The Gaelic Whisky Company are renowned for being independent through-and-through and produce whisky for whisky's sake. Rumour has it they are constructing a distillery on the Isle of Skye which will certainly be one to watch! This blend combines peat and brine with some soothing highlights from Speyside.
The aroma amalgamates coastal elements with peat and sherry in a Highland style.
Coffee and salt are very present with a hint of peat and some sweeter notes of caramel in the background.
The finish is hot and spicy and clings on for some time.
This great blended whisky is a challenge and that's a compliment. It forces the drinker to take stock and appreciate its many elements. Superb!

Spent lots of summer in Isleornsay as a child. Beautiful place. Great whisky- a blend for all the right reasons.
I enjoy this blended scotch very much.It doesn't drink like a blend but more like a malt. I can honestly say it is by far the best blended Scotch I have had -it certainly gives many single malts a run for their money,I enjoy it "neat".
Took me a while to really appreciate. It's subtle. I now find it absolutely delicious, with a slight orange finish. Got to be careful not to drink too much of it.
This is a brilliant blend, better than very many single malts, so please don't write it off. As value for money it's excellent. I love Islays but find Talisker too harsh, however this seems to contain a 'tamed' version of it. It's smooth and warming, I'd agree with the tasting notes. I get a bottle from the station shop at the Kyle of Lochalsh when I'm up there each year. A gem of a whisky!
When I get depressed about the state of the whisky industry I buy a bottle of this stuff to restore my faith
