Elements of Islay Bn1

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: The Whisky Exchange/Specialty Drinks

ABV: 55.6%

Score: 90 Points

The nose has classic Islay notes of peat and brine, with touches of smoked salmon and wet sand balanced by ginger and soft cinnamon spice. The taste starts off syrupy-sweet at first before a strong cinnamon blast that fades slowly to reveal hints of maple and brown sugar. The finish is spicy and long with lingering cinnamon spice.
