Kirkland Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed September 15, 2022This is lighter and a bit sweeter than other Islay single malts that I've had. The salty iodine is there on the nose, and the finish is a nice warming barbecue smoke cozy blanket. In between, modest peat and sweet grain are most prominent, along with a bit of seaweed. There is a bit of a drying aftertaste. Definitely pleasant, but not amazing. -
This has a fair amount of peat and iodine in its scent and flavor, a bit like Laphroaig in that way. There is also some smoothing sweetness from cask aging - vanilla and caramel, a bit of citrus too.. Very little of the pepper flavor I usually associate with Talisker. Not bad, and not what I expected. That said, for this sort of whisky, I would prefer Highland Park.
