- “As we get it” debuted in the early 2000s as part of Ian Macleod’s range and over time gained pretty wide recognition.
Product description
The As we get it line debuted at the beginning of the new century as part of the Ian Macleod & Company Ltd. offer and within a few years gained a large group of admirers.
It consists of single malts from undisclosed distilleries in the Islay and Highlands regions bottled as we [they] get it, i.e. in the form in which they left the warehouse and were purchased by Ian Macleod & Co. The first editions offered whiskies aged 8 years, later ones have no age statement, only the producer's assurance that "maturation took many years" (the one presented here was released in 2021). Ian Macleod owns the Glengoyne (Highlands) and Tamdhu (Speyside) distilleries, and since 2017 Rosebank (Lowlands).
Nose: peat smoke and sea breeze, iodine, wet beach sand, vanilla, fruit candy, canned pineapple, lemon peel and cigar ash.
Palate : sweet and smoky, caramel, vanilla, golden syrup, apples, lemon peel, green tea, notes of fennel and white pepper.
Finish: medium long, with notes of peat smoke, vanilla, pepper, herbal mix, oak and sea breeze.
