Islay Journey Islay Blended Malt

Smokey and slightly sweet, a surprisingly nice Islay blend.

Beach fire and roasted chestnuts on the nose. Peaty ash and pine on the palate with a finish that improves on that piney resin with citrus and fish.

Peaty. Still enjoyed.

Splendid Peaty smell! Light taste with some kick!

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.
