Samaroli Islay 2017 Edition, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Chocolate orange, a sizzle of bacon fat, and dry peat. While this feels less potent than Samaroli's other Islay offerings, it fits the mood perfectly for a nightcap. The taste buds detect orange, honey, chocolate praline, hazelnut, Oreos, a hint of cocoa, and an underbelly of peat smoke that carries into the finish. A wonderfully rich, smooth digestif that will transport you back to Islay in your dreams.
