Seaweed & Aeons & Christmas Cake & Cinnamon Whisky

To my taste the 'blend' doesn't work - it doesn't blend. Nice idea, but not quite there.

This is a shotgun wedding of a whisky. Two whiskies forced together into a marriage of convenience that neither wanted or were suitable for!

On initially breaking the seal and pouring the first dram you could tell the two were still fighting! There was no cohesion and you either got a massive explosion of one or the other and a weird, bitter aftertaste.

As with much in life, after several days and weeks of being allowed to settle down on its own, it finally softened and began to show a willingness to compromise and cooperate as I worked through it, and was nice enough. But I think that’s the biggest thing I take away from this whisky; compromise.

There’s vastly better and more cohesive blended malts out there for similar money, including from this producer. I would seek them out and leave this warring blend get the counselling it so clearly needs!

Wow!
I am not normally a whisky drinker, but intrigued by the tasting notes, I ordered two bottles.
I am glad I did.
They made my Christmas.
I shall need some more soon.
Watch for the oder!?

I love Islay whisky - and I really enjoy Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg 10. These are the perfect girls my Mum wanted me to date. Then I met Bunnahabvein 12 - and she was a posh girl looking for some excitement. Finally, I arrived at your Islay/Speyside 10-year blend - and I’m now happily married. A perfect blend!

Very like a good Islay malt with lots of peat smoke. Slightly toned down but only just! This is a smooth sipping whisky and will definitely be on my repeat list

Absolutely superb. Reminds me a bit of a nice Bunna. An Islay whisky with that bit of a difference.

Not bad, not great but v.good value. A good dram for the winter months when your heating bills perhaps dictate some prudence...

A subtle complexity, enjoyable and lingering, but fading to nothing in particular. No distinct depth of character and so more bland than I had hoped for. Good value overall, but not one I would revisit.

I find this smooth and very easy to drink. Not a whisky connoisseur by any means of the imagination but I do love Islay Whisky. This has enough Islay in it to satisfy me.

I once had this after having Laphroaig and this helped me taste the "Christmas cake" side to it.

I would happily buy this again.

Lovely balance between the smoke and spices and excellent value. Do us a favour and blend a Cask strength version
