Ileach Cask Strength

This bottle has been opened over a year. I dacanted the rest of it into a 200ml jar to preserve the flavor. I pour about 30ml in the glass and add two drops of water to do this review.

Nose: Clear and forward, nothing attacking. Tobacco, bacon, lemon peel, smoky sausage, peat and sea wind.

Taste: Full body. Warm and intriguing, there are clearly some sweetness of sherry cask. Peat, pears, wild honey, milk chocolate, black pepper, brine and ash.

Finish: Heaty and smoky, like smoking a pipe by the sea shore. Sea salt, gasoline, leather, barely, and peat.

Balance: Mellow down nicely, not so heavy as it used to be, and the roughness is gone.

In my opinion this whisky is a good bargain. With little money you can get a traditional Islay cask strength whisky which tastes really nice, also I believe it came from Lagavulin as the rumors says. Those Islay lovers can give it a try, but I think I will move on to something with more depth and twist. This is a decent whisky with not much surprise, I prefer Lagavulin 16 yo to this.
