Green Isle Blended Scotch Whisky

It’s not bad but if you like peat (I am a fan of Islay) then there are inexpensive blends that are lots better.

Nose. Cereals and dried banana chips, followed by some peat and candied fruits. Palate. A little thin on the palate (this could be amazing at 46%+) but principally vanilla and a little orchard fruit (pear?). Finish. Fairly short (again, this is bottled at a slightly too low ABV) but there’s a touch of smoke, black pepper and butter.

Meh, it’s fine…clearly a blend, but fine as a ‘Welcome to Islay’ introduction.
