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.
Limited edition bottling for Ardbeg Day. A convincing, classic Ardbeg single malt whisky that matured in special casks: pinot noir casks from New Zealand, the land of sheep. Hence this Bla-a-ack. A bottle to treat yourself to! Bottled at 46%.
The Ardbeg Distillery is one of those distilleries that gave Islay the name of Peated Whisky Island. This Alligator edition (2011) is a good example of the peated single malt whiskies from Ardbeg. Powerful, smoke and ash, salty, sweet, fruit and spicy.
In the more than 15 years that the Port Charlotte brand now exists, it has built up a solid reputation as a peated single malt whisky. This PC8 certainly contributed to that reputation. The 8 refers to the age of this malt that aged in bourbon casks.
For those who missed it in 2018, here it is again: the Ardbeg Twenty Something 1996 single malt whisky. A full, complex, 22-year-old Ardbeg, subtle by its age, with a slightly tempered smokiness. The well-known Ardbeg profile with a refined edge.
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%.
This seventh edition of the Loch Gorm single malt whisky from Islay distillery Kilchoman matured in oloroso-sherry casks. For lovers of sherryed whisky and Islay smokiness, this is a bottling that you really can't ignore. At 46%.
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!
An 'entry model' this Bowmore Legend. For those who want to get to know this medium-smoky Islay single malt whisky. Or for those who always want to have a standard Bowmore in the cupboard. Matured in bourbon barrels and bottled at 46%.
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 12-year malt is part of the core range of Bowmore, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. A good example of a typical Bowmore, this whisky, with a nice balance between peat smoke and citrus and vanilla. Bottled at 40%.
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.
In 2015, edition 06.1 of Bruichladdie’s most heavily peated single malt whisky, Octomore, was released. Distilled from Scottish barley (which yields less alcohol but more flavour), the whisky matured in American oak casks for 5 years. (57.0%)
Originally available at travel retail, but that was years ago. This Octomore has matured in
Ex Eau-de-Vie Limousin Oak Casks. Giving it a very unique flavour profile. A perfect addition to your collection.
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.
A standard bottling of the Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay. They produce the only 'single farm malt' from self-malted Islay barley. Matured on bourbon and sherry, the Machir Bay is medium smoky with sweet notes, citrus and vanilla. 46%.
Lagavulin 16 is an example of how a long distillation process and long maturing contribute to a high-quality single malt. With this bottling, Lagavulin sets a standard: a perfect balance between peat smoke, maritime tones and sherry aromas. At 43%.
For those who want to try a smoky Islay single malt whisky at cask strength, this Finlaggan is, the price considered, a good entry-level model. Any smoky Islay whiskey can be found behind the Finlaggan label. We don't know which one is in this bottling.
A nice example of the distillery character, this 12-year-old Caol Ila. Tough and yet subtle, and nicely balanced with the smoke and peat notes typical of Caol Ila. A good and affordable entry into the world of 'peated' Islay whisky.
Ardbeg Perpetuum released in 2016 as an addition to the core range of Ardbeg. A bottling from Bourbon & Sherry Casks making this another nice Ardbeg bottling. It is bold with peppery, iodine, pear, citrus and vanilla notes.
