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!

I discovered this at the equally amazing Il Viccoletto restaurant in Stresa (Lake Maggiore)... wont drink any other scotch now.
Superbly blended whisky. I don't know what malt content it has but it certainly does not have that grain whisky taste of cheaper blends. Don't have a great palate, but to me this tastes like a superb blend of highland, island and a touch of islay malts. impressively blended, would drink this way before many single malts i have tasted.
wasn't going to bother with blends anymore , omg mmmm glad i did , if you dont like this then you have no buds, thanks to motm for its recommendation,
I used to purchase this when I lived in Ontario. Peppery flavour with salt and heat that fairly SCREAMS Talisker. If I had to guess, I'd say it's made with at least 50% of that fine malt. But it's milder, which will suit many palates. In fact, someday it would be good to compare this with, say, the Talisker 18. Highly recommended.
