Mcclelland Islay Single Malt Scotch

Type : Scotch
ABV : 80
Producer : Morrison Bowmore Distillers
Country : Scotland
Size : 750ml
Description :

McClelland's Single Malt is a range of Single Malt Scotch whiskies from four of Scotland's key whisky distilling regions - Highland, Islay, Speyside and Lowland. Hailing from an Island revered by whisky lovers the world over, the Islay Single Malt is a hearty full-bodied dram with a strong hit of peat. The sweet, smoky finish leaves you to savour thoughts of the Island gem that is Islay.

NOSE
An ambiguous sweetness comes up first followed by some smoked meat, peat and lots of vanilla. A light tropical fruit (banana heavy), a bit of melon, smoked fish and brine. Little hints of iodine, dried fruit, turmeric, char and a fairly strong alcohol burn give this an aroma that has promise, but gets beat down by the stronger funky notes.

PALATE
All malt and no bite. Some light notes of vanilla, banana heavy tropical fruit, coconut, a little char, a little peat, a little smoke and a weird funk. The nose is vastly more complex than the palate with this whisky and that absence makes it feel like something is missing.

FINISH
A light nutty character with some malt, banana, Nilla Wafers and weird funk. It’s mercifully short.
