Tasting Notes
Islay #3 13 Year Old - Batch 7 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a true embodiment of the rugged and coastal character of Islay whiskies. The nose greets you with a medicinal aroma, reminiscent of a well-stocked first-aid kit, mingled with zesty lemon and dried garden herbs. As you inhale deeper, notes of pungent coastal oils and a hint of pebbly minerality transport you to the shores of Islay. On the palate, salted lemons and candied oranges mingle with waves of salinity, complementing the mineral notes from the nose. The medicinal peat adds herbaceous menthol and charred heather flavors, creating a delightfully complex and unique taste. The finish lingers with vegetal smoke, dried herbs, and smoked heather, leaving a lasting impression of Islay's distinct terroir. This 13-year-old single malt, partially finished in oloroso sherry octaves, is a true masterpiece crafted by the skilled team at That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
