Tasting Panel Note

About Universally irresistible: Unpeated Islay is always an absolute pleasure to sip. All the maritime elements shine through gorgeously like a sunset on Loch Indaal. Here, we’re on the Sound of Islay with a member favorite that exhibits admirable agility when it comes to the single cask. This one is just gorgeous.

Tasting Panel Note: We Panellists donned our boffins' lab coats, and custom-made an aftershave of burnt, molten toffee stirred into salted butterscotch sauce, with walnuts and dollops of set custard and blackcurrant jam. The palate was full of dark hedgerow fruits, stirred into warm condensed milk and poured over a plethora of pastries. A splash of craft cola followed a balsamic glaze. Water gave us fig rolls, chocolate dipping sauce, fruit leather and apple sauce on the nose, while the palate now emphasised cola, Chinese five spice and orange bitters. This was universally agreed by a Panel of chairpersons to be excellent.
