Epidion 10 Year Old
Epidion
Tasting Notes
This remarkable ten-year-old single malt Scotch whisky hails from the legendary Isle of Islay, formerly known as Epidion in ancient times. The nose greets you with a delightful harmony of creamy dough, buttered sourdough, and vanilla shortbread, interwoven with hints of sweet spice and rich oak char. As you take a sip, your taste buds are enveloped by a mesmerizing dance of sweet stone fruits and dense peat smoke, accompanied by creamy vanilla and juicy barley notes. Charred herbs and pungent bonfire embers linger, while sticky toffee adds a delightful complexity. The finish is a true testament to balance, where sweet peat, earthy smoke, cakey spice, vibrant oak char, and vanilla mingle harmoniously, leaving a tantalizing trail of pepper and smoked peanuts in its wake. This single malt Scotch is a remarkable journey through time, capturing the essence of Islay's rugged landscapes and rich history in each savory sip.
