Isle Of Skye 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Scotch Whisky | 43% ABV Producer: Ian Macleod Commercial Description: EYE: Light caramel NOSE: A rich caramel kicks things off and brings along some mango, peat, spice, malt, and orchard fruit. Weaving in and out are some nice notes of candied citrus, bing cocktail cherries and a whiff of smoke. There’s a mild alcohol burn but it isn’t distracting and in an odd way it actually feels right at home. PALATE: Things change gears here and the peat leads the charge with caramel, char, burnt sugar and a dark sweetness playing the role of the infantry. The calvary that comes riding up behind is made up of some young tart citrus peel, grain alcohol and a bit of murky sulpher. Overall it has a dark quality to it that is equal parts smoky, meaty, resinous and tarry that work for this one. FINISH: Caramel, peat, vanilla, wood and a dark earthy quality stretch out in a long finish.
