Smokey Joe Islay Malt 70cl Whisky

“When I first tasted this I thought I had made a bad mistake rough, sour and acrid and gave half the bottle away to friends who liked it a great deal. A month later I gave some to another friend and poured myself about half a dram… I couldn’t believe it was the same whisky. Sweet oily smokey peat a little rough but had smoothed out by the finish which is long flavoursome and memorable. I can only think my palate was initially affected by something I’d eaten, or that the oxygen in the bottle after opening fir a month had a cosmic effect on the contents. Will buy another bottle as soon as this is consumed. Lovely stuff. ”
