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.
It shows you what great selection they have here and what gems can be found without spending over £30. I tasted this in the super peaty tasting set and I loved it. Ok it may not be the most refined scoth out there but for green coastal flavour its a big winner
Honestly I had in my hands the highland park 12 and was ready to buy but I thought that I want to try the Ileach as It has something "hidden" in his origins and maybe in taste. Great peat, smoky enough not to blow your mind, very taste and strong enough. great aftertaste. though I prefer Connemara if I compare it with an other peated whisky. try this, it has aven a great price, here it costs 309 swe krones, it must be around 35-40 euro. Great!
5/5 for the quality for the cheap price you get!
Got a tasting kit for Xmas and this was in it. First class
Thoroughly enjoyed it - ordering two bottles for my son's management friends for Xmasd
