Ileach Peated Islay Malt Cask Strength /58%/0.7l

Ileach is a single malt whisky from the portfolio of The Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Co., part of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company.

The name "Ileach" means a resident of the island of Islay, and that's all we know about the origin of the whisky. The company does not reveal which distillery is behind the Ileach brand (unofficially it is said to be Lagavulin), nor do we know if it is assigned to one producer. The Cask Strength edition is a great addition to the offer, especially at a time when most producers bottle whisky close to the statutory minimum of 40% abv. The price is also an undoubted advantage here.

Aroma : a wave of fire and peat smoke, a bit of iodine and hospital tones, caramel and traces of barbecue sauce.

Taste: smoky and peaty, a bit of seaweed, grilled meat with barbecue sauce, lemon pepper, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.

Finish: long, smoky and spicy, with a hint of caramel.
