Finlaggan Cask Strength Islay Single Malt

I really wanted to enjoy this. Affordable, caskstrength peated Single Malt from Islay?! Yes please!! Except this was a little tired. Good peat notes, some smoke and honey sweetness. The malt was a bit thin, and with time the peat settled more into ash and less into a smoldering moss or earth.

Smoky throughout, but with a lovely honey sweetness. Very little peat compared to most Islays, but a treat at this price. Compares well with Lagavulin 8.

Liquid barbecue smoke with a nice meaty taste.

Kreeg een 6,5 op mijn whisky proeverij.
