Description

The Ileach Peated Islay Malt is a peaty single malt from an undisclosed Islay distillery, bottled by The Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Co., a subsidiary of The Vintage Malt Whisky Company. It is known for its robustly peaty character and unmistakable breath of the seashore. Jim Murray described it as an overwhelming, big malt with limited oak, calling it 'fun stuff' and a 'rare chance to taste a high-quality peaty malt.' It won a Gold Medal at the 1999 International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Nose
A thick chunk of peat, earthy, smoky, with hints of iodine, sea water, and salty ocean breeze. Some notes of green grass, vanilla, hazelnuts, and sometimes a subtle meaty aroma.
Palate
Oil-peat-barley balance, pungent peat smoke, chewy sweet malt, bitter-sweet tone, hints of pepper, tar, iodine, lemon zest, and barley sugar. Some sources mention fruitiness like pineapple or blackcurrant.
Finish
Long to medium, with peat dissipating slowly, leaving a slightly bitterish oaky influence, smoky ashes, sweet smoke, and a touch of vanilla. Some mention iodine and caramel.
