A peated edition of The English single malt whisky from the English Distillery. A good core of smoke runs through this one, alongside recognisable vanilla-rich notes.
Cinnamon, smoked malt and blueberry muffins.
Full-bodied smoke, paired with light notes of buttered bread and peppery barley.
Stem ginger and lingering bonfire embers.

This lacks the depth of islay malt. Which it does not claim to be. However it is a nice tasting clean Smokey malt. To be enjoyed for what it is. I would buy this again.
True to say, on first tasting this is full of youthful exuberance, a bit of hooligan. BUT the after taste is divine. I don't proclaim to be a connoisseur but this is definitely worth trying.
Regarding the person claiming this is a grain whisky, it clearly says "single malt" on the label. It's decent but obviously extremely young.
If you want an Islay-type peated whisky, go and buy one. This doesn't aim to compete. It's altogether different and individual. The peat infuses the taste with smokiness, but it's far more three-dimensional than that. Perhaps it's a little sweet, but at least it's clean and not the heavy sweetness that you get with some sherried malts. I love it. I see that one reviewer has called it a grain whisky and gave it one star without even drinking it! I wonder what malt they were reviewing. Obviously not this one!
This is a very poor quality grain whisky lacking any maturity or complexity. No age declaration. I was given this as a gift and won't drink it. I'm amazed at the price, it's really out of order. People are buying this in good faith and the price would indicate it's a good quality product. Shame MoM are stocking it.
