Amber color. Aromas and flavors of smoldering green herbs, Lapsang Souchong tea, anise, and roasted black garlic with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, subtle, medium-length finish with elements of vanilla and hazelnut, dark chocolate roasted malt, pecan, mace, pepper, and and spices. A smoky Scotch with a green and herbal tone; kind of like an extra Añejo Mezcal.

Islay is an island off the west coast. Traditional Islay malt whiskies are intensely smoky and pungent in character with a distinctive iodine or medicinal tang that is said to come from sea salt permeating the local peat that is used to dry the barley malt.
