The Big Smoke Aged in Oak Cask 46% Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
The Big Smoke Aged in Oak Cask 46% Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky originates from Islay, Scotland, known for its robust and smoky Scotch whiskies. This whisky offers a bold and intense palate, characterized by strong peat smoke, complemented by hints of vanilla and a touch of maritime brine. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering smokiness that is quintessentially Islay.
On the nose, The Big Smoke is rich with aromas of peat smoke, reminiscent of a roaring campfire, intermingled with notes of iodine, seaweed, and a subtle sweetness from the oak casks. This complex aroma profile sets the stage for the intense flavor experience that follows.
Crafted from a blend of malt whiskies from several Islay distilleries, this whisky is bottled at 46% alcohol content, providing a robust and full-bodied experience. It is typically enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its flavors, though it can also be appreciated in cocktails that benefit from its smoky character.
