Single Malt

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 hold Lagavulin in the highest regard. It's by far one of the best whiskeys I've had the pleasure of enjoying. The Ileach, to me, reminds me of an younger Lagavulin. It certainly lacks a bit of depths, like most youngsters do. But it's fine. It really is. For this price, it's a bargain. Tomas, Sweden.
This is nice only if you drink it fast, the taste is too small and watery. If you want a nice getting drink whisky buy I would recommend this. But if you want to relax and take some sips I would buy Talisker 10 instead.
Tastes like you've swallowed a bonfire, just the best of Islay.
Sublime
Lasting smokiness', fantastic!
