Lochlea Single Ex-Islay Barrel 4 Year Old, Ex-Islay Cask, Cask #287, 2023, 61.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The slight coastal smoke is the part that catches my interest, with salted caramel and ash giving it a sweet-and-smoky contrast. A focused, appealing character, though the notes suggest the coastal edge stays subtle.
