10 Year Old Whisky
Customer Rating
“This was my go to islay after covid and I was gutted when it went out of stock. So glad it’s back so just came on here to snag a bottle (and write a few words of gratitude)!”
Ken Copps
Description
This right here is a 10-year-old single malt from an undisclosed distillery on Islay, with 25% of it having been finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks, and bestowed the decidedly descriptive name Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire. If those four words (and three ampersands) aren't quite enough of an explanation of what this expression is all about, here are a few more: stripped-back, smoky, complex, a bit sherried, balanced, coastal. Yeah, that should do it. Great for people who love uncompromising Islay whisky and sans-serif fonts.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich, powerful sherry with a well-integrated core of peat. Solid.
Palate
Well-balanced but extremely forceful on delivery. The sherry makes itself known in a really good way.
Finish
Red apple sweetness gives way to oaken-vanilla goodness and fades elegantly into the embers of a chargrilled well-aged steak.
Overall
A thoroughly impressive dram. One would be forgiven for mistaking it for an OB with another 5 years of age on it.
