The Ileach Cask Strength Whisky 70cl

Finally got the water right! WOW!

I’m NOT by any manner o’ means a whisky connoisseur, but this whisky has become my most favourite of them all!!!

Tastes like a sweet Bowmore For a 58 % does not burn but then the finish is short in my opinion until you have a few
There is peat there but only just ---But then I am a peat head

What can be said about this whisky that’s NOT been said before! As I read in one review, it’s now my go to Islay whisky!

A great whisky to end the night. Not to be taken lightly as it packs a punch, being a total heretic I prefer it over ice which to my mind enhances the flavour and softens it just enough

A nice tarry taste with an underlying sweetness that delivers a lasting fiery finish. An excellent whisky to end the evening.

This is very rapidly becoming my favourite Islay Whisky! Please don’t ask my why, it’s just that there is this something that really appeals to me!

Wary to begin with because of the nose... rather unpleasant oily manure odour.
Left it for half an hour, warming in my palm, then tasted but far too astringent and course without water for me, so added three lots of 5mls, with tasting between each addition. I found both the 10mls and 15mls enhance the experience and tame the beast releasing an assortment of flavour associations that seem to change each time I have a dram. The most significant finding was that after nursing it for a couple of hours, there is no burn, flavours are enhanced and the aftertaste of smoke is deliciously pleasant and lingers long...over 5 minutes, which is exactly what I was hoping for... but it needs coaxing out. Delicious. (still hate the nose)

Great. A little harsh & I drink it with 10% water

Wow i'm no expert but this packs a real punch. Careful with your measures as it's strong. Two parts whiskey and one part water and it brings out beautifully plummy tones. I love it..
