TÉ BHEAG Nan Eilean
40% ABV 2nd Pour
Non-Chill-Filtered A Blended Scottish Whisky from the Isle of Skye
Blended By Praban na Linne (Prah Bawn Nah Linne) Linne=(small body of water) Shabeen of the Pool Shabeen=Roadhouse, house pub
Let it sit in the Glass 30 minutes
COLOR: Medium Reddish Brown with a number of Legs Running Slowly. Nice Ring
NOSE: Brine, Licorice
PALETTE: Light Creamy Mouth Feel Sweet Arrival with Licorice. Peat Smoke Rises nicely as I swirl it; Mixing with the Sweetness. Some Light Pepper. Light Sweetness remains amidst the Peat Smoke.
FINISH: Light Sweetness going down; followed by Drying with Some Pepper, Briney Notes remain as I breathe along with Licorice and a Hint of Peat Smoke
This is my 2nd Glass, In My opinion, this is a Very Good Blended Peated Scottish Whiskey. The Light Sweetness on the Palette mixes nicely with BUT is Not overwhelmed by the Peat Smoke. A Flavorful combination. I would prefer a Thicker Mouth Feel from this NON-CHILL FILTERED Blend, but there is a Nice combination of Licorice Sweetness with Peat Smoke.
As an IRISH Gaelic Speaker, I greatly appreciate the significant use of SCOTTISH Gaelic in the Name and the rest of the Label. The Isle of Skye along with some of the other Scottish Islands has a small but significant Gaelic Speaking population and this Blender is Keen to uphold it, MAITH SIBH (Mah or My Shiv) Good For You (Plural)
