Description

Truly a 'Shh…ecret Islay' single malt, this mysterious whisky from an unspecified Islay distillery was distilled in 1999, aged for 21 years in a refill barrel, and bottled in 2021 by The Whisky Jury. This heavily-peated cask strength expression offers seaside aromas mingling with sweet spices and creamy, medicinal bananas.

Nose
Charred fruits and herbs with hints of hospital. A layer of pungently maritime peat reek hung in front of sweet chlorine, cleaning chemicals, and antiseptic ointments, which opened the sinuses to burnt sage and rosemary. Beyond were notes of candied oranges, key lime, and crushed igneous rock.
Palate
Medium to light body with a creamy-oily mouthfeel and charred herbal, tropical fruit, and maritime notes. An initial wave of creamy salted butter and tropical fruit jam crested on notes of charred wood, cardamon, and peppery limu kohu. Tropical pastries and toast came to mind with hints of ginger, lilikoi, orange, and guava. Salty toasted herbs lingered at the end with charred orange rind.
Finish
Lingering notes of citrus and faintly bitter herb.
