Jury’s out

Decided to finish off the last 4oz of the bottle. It really is the pinnacle of whisky at this price.

Stroong nose of smoke, sea salt and a bit smokey, dry taste without any sweetness. Add water and the smoke gets less strong and gives the fruitiness and the sweetness to come out of this whisky. Highly recommended !

Presented as it should be: no fancy packaging, 46% ABV, un-chillfiltered and uncolored. And as a bonus: no marketing team that writes in lyrical superlatives... Well done Glengyle distillery! An example for the industry. I will leave the tasting notes to better noses, but I find the combination of 70% bourbon - 30 % sherry casks and the fact that it is lightly peated combined with Campeltown's salt spray truly delicious. Considering the price at around 45 euros, this became my favourite daily drinker. Bought a bottle, and immediately ordered a second one. Best value for money Whisky I can think of.
