Islay Single Malt - As We Get It (Ian Macleod) (60.8%)
Ian Macleod
Tasting Notes
A single malt whisky from the rugged Isle of Islay, this expression is a true gem for peat lovers. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 60.8% ABV, it embraces the unadulterated essence of the Islay spirit. The nose greets you with a harmonious blend of sweet sponge cake, herbal malt, and the unmistakable earthen peat smoke that Islay is renowned for. On the palate, it delivers a lively dance of fresh apple, zesty citrus notes, and the smoky character of burnt embers, complemented by the warmth of oak char spice. The finish lingers with baking spice, coastal tar, and a vegetal peat presence, punctuated by the prickly heat of black pepper. This independently bottled Scotch from Ian Macleod's As We Get It range offers an unapologetic Islay experience, untamed and unfiltered, just as nature intended.
