Straw-gold color. On the nose, sweet toffee, citrus notes, seaweed, and spice complement a powerful peat smoke infusion. In body, it is thick and oily. On the palate, a somewhat sweet maltiness up front is run over by a powerful peat smoke locomotive. Again, the whisky is enriched with citrus and pear notes, spice, and seaweed. The finish is powerful, long, and warming.

Powerful, muscular, well-textured, and invigorating. Even within the realm of Ardbeg, this one stands out. The more aggressive notes of coal tar, damp kiln, anise, and smoked seaweed are supported by an array of fruit (black raspberry, black cherry, plum), dark chocolate, espresso, molasses, bacon fat, kalamata olive, and warming cinnamon on the finish. Quite stunning!

Details
An alluring Islay example, with a big peat nose that's balanced out by salt spray and iodine. Delights on the palate with honey, bread dough and candy flavors that mix pleasingly with the remains of peat and salt. The finish is long and candied, with a whiff of smoke at the end.
-
Details
The unabashedly briny opening bouquet is all peat, sea salt and salted focaccia; time in the glass serves to bring out a refined Sherry scent. In the mouth, it’s lean, surprisingly sweet and acutely resiny. Ends pine-like, resiny, moderately salty, fruity (yellow fruit, like yellow plum or banana) and semisweet.
-
Details
This new release is an improvement from the original Darkest, both of which are succulently sherried. It is fuller in flavor and more visceral, in both the nose and palate. These differences are subtle, but positive. Notes of lush fruit, raisin, pot-still rum, and Heath bars. Citrus and wood spices emerge, along with burning peat embers that linger on the finish.
-
Details
This 18 year old integrates the sherry notes with the Bowmore signature to create a richly flavored Islay whisky experience. Thick toffee, ripe fruit, and tar-tinged smoke are accentuated by dark chocolate, cocoa powder, burnt raisin, dates, and sea salt. Long, entertaining finish.
-
Details
Exclusively matured in first and second fill ex bourbon casks, then blissfully married together, Small Batch exhibits the best qualities of both. First-fill bourbon offers delicious vanilla sweetness, subtle spices and bourbon oak smoke to complement Bowmore's gentle peaty smokiness, while the second-fill cask enhances Bowmore's fresh fruity complexity and showcases its trademark honey and creamy malt character.
-
Details
The second release from the uber-provenance Islay Barley Series. Made from Barley produced entirely on Dunlossit farm on the island of Islay. The ultimate single malt: single barley variety, single harvest, even single field! American oak matured, non-chill-filtered.
-
Details
This six year old whisky uses barley from nearby Rockside Farm (the same source Kilchoman uses for their 100% Islay whiskies) to make an expressive, pure, and dynamic single malt of supreme character.
-
Details
The sixth edition of experimental Octomore, famous for being made with the most heavily peated barley on the planet. Bruichladdich are still able to impart a delicate, graceful emphasis within this intense whisky.
-
Details
This latest Port Charlotte vats many different kinds of casks together, including bourbon, sherry, French wine, and Spanish Tempranillo. There are lemons and citrus elements on my bouquet. Lots of lemon tart and lemon peel, with a hint of what’s coming with the smoke. There is a sweet grassy weight to the bouquet that reminds me of chamomile tea with honey. The citrus fades away then apples and clementines becoming much more present. And what was gentle smoke becomes sturdier on the finish.

Details
The texture of Bruichladdich's Port Charlotte scotch whisky is extraordinarily rich with the smouldering heat of peat fires and a huge depth of character. Trickle distilled from 100% Scottish Barley the spirit gently matures in the lochside village of Port Charlotte before being bottled at the distillery using Islay spring water.
-
Details
While well known Islay distillery Bruichladdich are famous (infamous!) for pushing the boundaries of distillation, sometimes a true classic is hard to ignore. They have created a malt that is happy-go-lucky, an any time any place kind of spirit. Stamped with the trademark silkiness of palate that Bruichladdich is famous for along with a harmony of oak and gentle warmth that truly reflects those who have made this classic malt.

Details
Continuity. Ageless values. Time is simply immaterial for the artisan distiller. Years pass by. The grist is ground, the mash steams, the wort simmers, the spirit trickles. And the angels get their share. The baton may get passed on, a new generation’s ideas, but Bruichladdich – the heart and soul of Bruichladdich – always remains reassuringly immune to time.
-
Details
Malty sweetness, peat, oil and smoked meat. Some lemon pudding notes come later, as the whisky evolves and improves. The palate shows a malty sweetness, green barley, some creosote and treacle toffee. A real beauty for fans of smoky whiskies.

Details
Loch Gorm is exclusively matured in Oloroso sherry casks from the renowned bodega, Jose Miguel Martin. These ex-Oloroso sherry casks impart a combination of heavy sherry notes, spicy dark chocolate, rich fruits and burnt sugar. This balances beautifully with the Kilchoman peat smoke and citrus fruits found within our farm crafted spirit.
-
Details
A vatting of 5 and 6 year old malt whiskies which have been aged in both ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso Sherry barrels (with a bias towards the Bourbon casks). The style of the whisky is typical peated Islay with a strong medicinal and maritime aromas, the palate has a pleasantly buttery texture and typical fresh fruit flavours usually found in young malt whiskies.
-
Details
The heavily peated style of the distillery works in perfect harmony with the dried fruit and spice flavours from the sherry casks, something that can be hard to get right. In this case the smoke shines right through to the end but the journey getting there is very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Details
This commemorative 2020 label is a classic, well-structured Lagavulin that smoke heads will love. Wonderfully smoky, oily and bitter-sweet, pure in style and beautifully balanced with an inspiring sophistication.
-
Details
Lapsang Souchong and fruity sherry. The dryness is at first offset by the sweetness of the sherry character. As the palate develops, oily, grassy, and, in particular, salty notes emerge in a long, sustained, aggressive, attack.. A huge, powerful, bear-hug of peat. The driest of Islay malts, and an established classic.
-
Details
The whisky was created in honour of whisky scribe Alfred Barnard from the 19th century, who sampled an eight-year-old Lagavulin during a visit to Islay and described it as “exceptionally fine” and “held in high repute”. Aged exclusively in refill American oak casks, Lagavulin 8 Year Old is said to be magnificently full with notes of charred, minty, dark chocolate, and sweet, smoky and warming flavours on the finish.
-
Details
This 10 year old malt epitomizes the taste of Islay; rich, smoky and peaty. It is the most distinctive of all malts, known by many as “the ultimate single Islay Malt.”
-
Details
The new Laphroaig 18 has the character, balance and elegance of the great Laphroaig. Tinted soft, long and fruity smoke, the smoke ham notes, spices, fruit cake, oak and ginger, they possess a great depth thanks to its low dilution and lighter filtration (to preserve the better its flavor and texture). The birth of a giant!
-
Details
When you marry together the sherried, oaky flavours from the 2nd fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry Casks with the creamy, smooth, sweet flavours from the ex American Oak Bourbon barrels you end up with a marriage made in heaven that's called Laphroaig 25 Years Old. It is a perfect fusion of these two most different styles of maturation flavours, made even smoother by the 25 years it has had gently maturing.
-
Details
Laphroaig Lore is the distillery’s new ‘No Age Statement’ release. It is made up of whiskies aged in a combination of quarter casks, sherry casks and ‘reused’ peated casks. Again without an age statement and in this case it is that the Lore is very rich – ‘the richest of the rich’ Laphroaigs, in fact.
-
Details
Single malt unfiltered cold aged in oak barrels with small bourbon. An official version that revives a tradition dating back to the nineteenth century. Here we are in the presence of Laphroaig double effect: a fruity sweetness that coats the peat, ie an iron fist in a velvet glove.
-
Details
