Cult of Islay 8 Year Old 2014 - Crafted Blend (Murray McDavid)

Tasting Notes

This Cult of Islay 8 Year Old 2014 from Murray McDavid is a crafty blend that packs a punch of Islay's signature smoky character. The nose invites you with a tantalizing mix of coastal peat smoke, juicy strawberry, and rich maple syrup notes. On the palate, it's a medley of flavors – flamed orange peel, savory smoke, caramelized apple, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, creating a delightful balance. The finish lingers with an oily peat smoke embrace, complemented by warming oak notes. This youthful release, limited to 1,428 bottles at 46% ABV, is a testament to the art of blending, showcasing the magic that can unfold when Islay's peated single malts mingle with sherry-matured whiskies in a harmonious union.
