Tequila Cask Terminado Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Category: Islay Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:
Country: United Kingdom
Alcohol: 43%
Amber color. Aromas and flavors of smoldering green herbs, Lapsang Souchong tea, anise, and roasted black garlic with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, subtle, medium-length finish with elements of vanilla and hazelnut, dark chocolate roasted malt, pecan, mace, pepper, and and spices. A smoky Scotch with a green and herbal tone; kind of like an extra Añejo Mezcal.

About
Islay Single Malt Scotch
Islay is an island off the west coast. Traditional Islay malt whiskies are intensely smoky and pungent in character with a distinctive iodine or medicinal tang that is said to come from sea salt permeating the local peat that is used to dry the barley malt.
