This richly peated blended malt from the Vintage Malt Whisky Co. was aged in American Oak casks from Islay and the Highlands, before it was bottled with 30ppm of phenol at 46% ABV, with an outturn of 4200 bottles.
The flavour balances sweet and salty notes, but still carries a big, smoky flavour that hits you like a... Like some enormous form of transportation... I can't think of which one... Oh, it has a nice train on the bottle label too!
With sweet peat smoke there's some creamy vanilla, soft citrus and a hint of iodine. Prickles of ginger linger.
The smoke becomes thicker and drier as the spice sweetens in a brilliantly oily palate. Floral honey keeps things interesting throughout.
Long and drying.

This review comes from an Ardbeg 10, Lagavulin 16, Kilchomen Sanaig connoisseur. First, Smoke Stack provides excellent peaty flavors with ample APV for those cold nights. The length might be shorter than the Ardbeg 10, but the price is shorter too. Smoke Stack immediately hits the palate with recognizable Islay peat that one wishes would last just a bit longer. This should be in the man cave bar of any smoke head Islay enthusiast for everyday enjoyment.
Great value for money. Some complexity here. I wonder how old it is
I like this a lot has a lot of smoke and flavor for 80 proof and $29.99 in NH. Going to pick up another bottle soon.
Really nice. Smoky, flavoursome and sweet. Great value. Will buy more.
Please can you order more!
