That Boutique-y Whisky Company
Tasting Notes
This sublime single malt hails from the famed Islay region, renowned for its robust and smoky whiskies. Aged for a remarkable 29 years, it unveils an intricate tapestry of flavors that captivate the senses. The nose allures with notes of dried, salted mango mingling harmoniously with tropical hints of pineapple, balanced by the alluring presence of oily old oak, a touch of cedar, and charred garden herbs. On the palate, generous layers of oily malt intertwine with zesty citrus peels and warming root ginger, while smoky notes of charcoal, fragrant woody spice, and a hint of menthol add depth and complexity. The finish lingers with whispers of barbecue smoke, sea breeze, and coastal peat, a testament to its Islay origins. A portion of this exquisite whisky was treated to a finish in oloroso sherry octaves, further enriching its character and leaving an indelible impression on the senses.
