Islay Journey Islay Blended Malt
Blended Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed May 18, 2020 (edited June 22, 2024)Pretty young going off the color and nose. The nose has that new make sour note, maybe a buttered popcorn jelly bean. Of course smoke, but more of an iodine candle by the sea than a campfire or burnt rubber. Some citrus and honey as well. Taste is a bit like unripe orchard fruit cooked over a campfire. Some bring notes as well. Finish is long and reminds me of a tack shop. Overall, a good value and I look forward to seeing it open up over time. -
I'm more of a whisky guy myself, but a friend of mine said he was looking for this, so I followed his lead and bought a bottle. Not sure how to describe this other than to say it has a lot of anise flavors. The smell and taste are all anise with a dab of honey. If you are missing your ouzo or Norwegian aquavit flavors, consider this as an alternative. If you're like me though, you'll try to pass of the rest of the bottle to your friend.
