Islay belongs to the Inner Hebrides in Scotland. The island lies between the Isle of Jura and Northern Ireland. From Ireland, the whisky once crossed over to Islay and thus entered Scotland. The most important place is Bowmore. Other places of interest are Port Ellen and Port Charlotte. The population is just over 3000. With its 8 distilleries, 6 of which produce a smoky whisky, Islay is formally a separate whisky region. It is therefore also known as the Whisky Island.
This is the 2021 edition of a 25 year old Laphroaig single malt whisky at cask strength. These bottlings of the firmly peated Islay malt always score very well. Due to their age, the smoky character is somewhat milder. Matured in bourbon casks and at 51.9
Specially bottled for Aston Martin but now for sale in our store! This is a Bowmore single malt whisky from the Masters' Selection series. The medium-smoky malt is 21 years old and heavily sherried: it matured in PX and oloroso sherry casks. (51.8%)
Islay Distillery Laphroaig has hit the bull's eye with its 10-year-old cask strength bottlings. The editions of this single malt whisky have always scored good to very good over the years. The bottling here is from 2010 and scored almost 89 points. (58,3%
We've picked up some great Lagavulins: Special Release bottlings from the first decade of this century. These are 12 year old Lagavulin single malt whiskies bottled at cask strength. So this bottle is from 2008 and at 56.4% strength.
A limited edition bottling, that's the 2021 edition of this Bunnahabhain single malt whisky. It is 12 years old and matured in both sherry and bourbon casks. This resulted in a complex palette of dried fruit, vanilla, roasted nuts and maritime notes.
The Classic Laddie, a single malt whisky bottling from the quirky Islay distillery Bruichladdich, matured in four different casks such as bourbon, and French red wine. The spirit is distilled from Scottish barley. The whisky is bottled at 50%.
A lot of discussion is going on about the distillery that supplied the whisky. It is a bottling from the Mac Talla series, the newest line by the Morrison family. Especially for Islay whiskies. This edition is called Mara (= Sea). Expect maritime notes!
Robust yet subtly smoky, as a Caol Ila single malt whisky can be, nicely balanced with the influence of the oloroso sherry casks on which this Càrn Mòr bottling matured for 8 years. For a reasonable price you will have a pleasantly drinkable dram. (47,5%)
If you like sherried single malt whisky, this bottling by bottler Van Wees is worth considering. It is an 11 year old Bunnahabhain that matured on a 1st fill sherry cask. The special feature of this bottling is the very high alcohol percentage of 68,9!
Bottled in collaboration with Torsten Paul, this first release from Roger's Whisky Company. Like the TPWC bottlings, this one is finished on a small quality cask, a PX octave in this case. It is a 12 year old Caol Ila bottled at a strength of 50%.
In 2019, Torsten Paul Whisky Company released its first bottles. The bottler finishes the whisky himself in carefully selected casks. This 12-year-old Caol Ila single malt whisky, for example, was finished on an oloroso octave. Result: 61 bottles at 57.7%
No longer in the well-known angular bottles, the new Claxton's series, but in a standard bottle. Like this Islay blended malt whisky in the Exploration Series. This blend of Islay single malt whiskies matured for 8 years in a refill sherry butt. (50%)
This rum-finished Smokehead isn't all about peat and smoke. The Islay single malt whisky bottled by Ian Macleod has depth and is complex. The rum finish provides fruity and vibrant notes. All in all a very drinkable and original combination. At 46%.
Smokehead is a single malt whisky brand from bottler Ian Macleod. Just like with the earlier Smokehead bottlings, this is an anonymous peated islay whisky. And the age of this bottling is also unknown. The ABV content is a solid 58%.
You don't see them that often anymore, bottlings from Scott’s Selection. But here we have a Bruichladdich malt whisky from 1990 in the well-known 750 ml bottle. For a price significantly lower than the current market value! A bottle for the collector!
A nice sherried single malt. Solid with layers of complexity. The influence of the sherry cask isn't overpowering the whisky at all, leaving enough space for the delicate dried fruits and warming spices to come through. Pleasantly quaffable!
This Caol Ila 2000 Distillers Edition was finished in Moscatel wine casks.
This 18-year-old single malt whisky, one of Bunnahabhain's flagships, is powerful but not overly sherried, not overly sweet. There's also a hint of peat smoke in the complex palate. Notable for a normally unpeated Islay malt. (46.3%)
Does it matter which Islay distillery this bottling is from? For those who love smoky, sherryed whisky, this Finlaggan is an affordable option: not complex, balanced and pleasant to drink, with the peated and maritime notes of an Islay whisky.
This is a real 'value for money' bottle. The age is not known, but the taste is not too youthful. This edition of The Ileach single malt whisky is a cask strength bottling from an unnamed Islay distillery. Does it matter which one?
The Ileach is a great introduction to the world of peated Islay single malt whisky. We don't know which Islay single malt is in the bottle. But this uncomplicated dram makes it immediately clear to the beginner whether he likes Islay peat smoke or not.
As Triple Wood indicates, this Laphroaig single malt whisky is aged in 3 different casks. This results in an interesting play of varying aromas and flavors: from smoke notes to sherry fruit, from oak to sweetness, and from vanilla to salt.
The Laphroaig Select is a lighter, softer single malt whisky than other Laphroaigs. By finishing on American new oak, there is a bit more sweetness and vanilla than, for example, in the Laphroaig 10. The Select is therefore a great entry-level Laphroaig!
The smaller the casks, the greater the influence of the wood. That is certainly the case with this Laphroaig which has been finished on small quarter casks. This yields a nice, full and complex dram, with the famous 'smoke and peat' from Laphroaig.
