Single Malt
Scotland
Highlands and Islands Whisky Company
The Ileach Peaty (pronounced Eee-luhk) is a young and peaty single malt whisky from a secret Islay distillery, independently bottled by the Vintage Malt Whisky Company. Ileach is what the Islay natives call themselves, and this whisky is Islay through and through. There’s no mucking about here, this is one peaty dram. Of course, it says so in the name.
Youthful peat, herbal notes, oak, grassy, notes of the coast.
Sublimely smooth malty notes, peat, peppery spices, tannins, a touch of fruit.
Faint iodine. Coastal notes, malt.
I remember the reek of tequila and a 'this is a peaty whisky' realisation, a little bit like when Al Pacino lends his name to a terrible film - you know, 'Oh, look, it's Al Pacino' - but 5 minutes after the glass is empty, there's no aroma and no aftertaste left. A poor script for a great actor.
A very good dram good on the nose and nice and peaty and at the price a bargain cheers
This would be a perfect delight after a moose hunting day late November. Fits for a rainy summer day as well.
A very nice and smooth young whisky l could drink this all day long and for the price a good buy cheers
i could just drink this all the time...excellent peaty flavour and smooth. you could splash it on your cornflakes.
