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 am also a peat lover, and this was surprising realy in my taste. It was in my opinion a lot of good tastes that surprised me well with the smoke. Sure a very good single malt. Nothing could be better for the price. Nice!
A very good single malt.Nothing could be better for the price.
There is much speculation on which distillery this 'secret' Islay malt comes from. I have to say that I don;t think any of the great distilleries on Islay would own up to this! It is very underpowered, completely unbalanced and has more than a taint of the dreaded sulphur from a poor sherry cask. Not what a fancy label portrays or the picture depicts this is NOT representative of the superb Islay malts. Cheapness usually means poor quality and in this case it simply pays to pay for the price of a true Islay malt and not a cheap imitation. R. Swinhoe
Absolut zu empfehlen. Leute die diesen Whisky nicht kennen werden sehr positive überrascht sein. Das gilt auch beim mehrmaligen Versuch und auch nach mehreren Tagen. Ich bin ein Malt Liebhaber seit über 25 Jahren. Hans Luginbühl Kriens Schweiz
What you are drinking is a young Caol Ila.
