Elements of Islay Bourbon Cask, 54.5%

Price: 90 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

A coastal smokiness with iodine and antiseptic, balanced with graham cracker, wood spice, Golden Delicious apple, fresh oak shavings, and a hint of fudge. The palate is a pleasing combination of sweet vanilla, dried mango, and condensed milk, layered with honey, caramel, toffee, and a sustained note of peppery spice, before wallowing in flavors of chocolate muffin, peat smoke, Brazil nut, and Lotus Biscoff in the finish.
