Review by Islay Storm

Nose

Pungent peaty smoke. Phenolic with a little coastal breeze.

Palate

Lovely sweet peatiness. Some iodine and sea salt balance with vanilla notes and some spice.

Finish

Waves of smoke. Fantastic length.

Note

Islay Storm captures the essence of the unique and mysterious energy that surrounds the famous island of Islay.

Situated off the west coast of Scotland, Islay is at the mercy of the mighty Atlantic Ocean, whose treacherous storms have been shaping the landscape for thousands of years.

Raging seas, ferocious currents and hidden rocks have sent hundreds of ships to their destiny. Then they give way to calm sunny days, white sandy beaches and lochs full of peaty spring water.

Islay malts are unlike any other malt whiskies they are robust, smoky and peaty, with hints of the sea and spicy sweetness combining the torrents and tranquility of this magical island.
