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.
Tastes as though its been concocted in a lab not a distillery. The potent stench was enough to make my wife leave the room. Long lasting metallic aftertaste
First sip... raw new-make spirit. Tequila with peat smoke. Perhaps the worst whisky I have tasted since Wolfburn 3 y/o (and that was barely drinkable). Lagavulin, Caol isla/ who knows - it would shame both of them, so no wonder it's anonymous. I so hope that the folks below that gave it 5 stars, buy the rest of the production & take it off the market.
Very pleasing. My favorite taste very similar to Ardbeg. Another great from Islay
I was unsure at first and kept going back to try it again. unfortunately the bottle is now empty. I would definitely get another. its not for wimps though...it is iodine poured over peat and filtered through a hessian sack. Delicious in my opinion for a thirty quid bottle and worth a punt.
Smooth, sweet buttery aftertaste with the right amount of smokey peat. If you're not into peat, this one is not for you. Definitely a good " go to bottle" and a must have for the serious Scotch lover. A great Scotch for the price, a hidden gem.
