Eades Islay 'Double Malt', 46%

Price: 70.00 Issue: Winter 2008 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Consists of 60% Bowmore and 40% Caol Ila. Bold, youthful, and somewhat medicinal (as would be expected), with peat smoke, tar, pebbles on a beach, and boat docks. Additional flavors of smoked olives and exotic pepper add intrigue, while honeyed malt notes soothe the palate and provide balance.
