A classic Island whisky from the Isle of Skye. Aged for a minimum of 10 years in American oak casks, this welcome member of Diageo's Classic Malts series has been recognised numerous times for its excellence. Immensely satisfying stuff, with whiffs of warm peat blending with coastal air, balanced by orchard fruit and juicy barley. A spectacular after dinner dram.
It was an Editor's Choice at Whisky Magazine, a gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017 and was awarded 'Best Islands Single Malt' at the 2017 World Whiskies Awards.
Nose: A fresh and fragrant nose. Through thick, pungent smoke comes sweet pear and apple peels, with pinches of maritime salt from kippers, seaweed.
Palate: It's a bonfire of peat crackling with black pepper, with a touch of brine and dry barley. A welcome delivery of orchard fruit provides a delicate and beautiful balance.
Finish: In a long finish, bonfire embers toast malt and crystallise a sugary underlay.

The 10 year is very distinctive - doesn't hide its rawness. I can't think of any other malt that achieves that salt and pepper taste. The sweetness (pears) is there, but at least in the 10 year it's a backstage, and there is no pretence that it is balancing the salty, peppery phenols, and - to be frank - the bite of the alcohol.

Good malt whisky I have tried

Nice smokey smells, Smokey, nice amount of warmth. Could be longer and more complex but it is what i was expecting for the price

It's still ok, but quality has gone down hill, lost some of its sweetest as has gone a bit 9 volt battery flavour. Will enjoy my bottle but dont think I'll get another

I generally dislike peaty offerings (Laphroig, JW Green, etc), but I absolutely love this. Just the right amount of peatyness to make it different to my usual Speyside preference when I want to change things up, or a guest prefers a little peat.

With the same money and compared to the Ardbeg 10, this would be my choice. At least there is a bit more going on to compliment the smokey punch. Is it brilliant, no. But it's got a rightful place in any cabinet.

Tastes like drinking deli ham. At least the Alcohol content is high, so if you drink it quickly, the taste matters less and less

Wow! Kippers and popcorn on the nose! Spice and chilli sweetness. Delicious and intense

This was one I was looking forward to trying for a long time, whilst I wasn’t disappointed, I was a little underwhelmed by it. It’s harsher than expected and not as complex, the smoke is noticeable but could do with being cranked up a notch in my opinion.that said it’s still a very good dram but perhaps not on the God like pedestal many put this on. Or maybe I just got a bad bottle? Would probably buy again on deal to test that theory out. Purchased for £30 so no major complaints.
