Elements Of Islay Peat Blended Malt Whisky Full Proof Review And Tasting Notes
If you’re looking for a bottle of Scotch to test your taste buds, try this Elements Of Islay Peat Blended Malt Whiskey Full Proof.
If you are looking for a peat bomb and medicinal scents, the Elements Of Islay Peat Blended Malt Whiskey Full Proof is your bottle. It is a blend of single malts from the homeland of peaty whiskey, the Isle of Islay, which aims for an initial punch in the face, potent alcohol, and zero sherry.
It is a robust, herbaceous, and very penetrating whiskey, but the color already shows that you will war with a spirit with few qualms. Don’t expect rich and persuasive tones, but lots of peat, an oily and straight palate like few, and lots of pepper.
As a base, the Spartan influence of Caol Ila is very much felt. The fire is a bonfire by the sea. Smoky but full of iodine, algae, and marine references. The gradation is 59.3 degrees, not a few.
Organoleptic characteristics
The nose is fascinating, a picnic among the islets of Islay swept by the sea. Part very peaty with heather, hay, and rocks. It opens slowly, suggests a citrus-based fruity heart, and then turns floral. Traditional aromatic herbs and medicinal returns, ethereal and intense, almost of camphor. The biscuit and the malt are very hidden and are of no interest to anyone in this case.
It is rocky, almost undrinkable on the palate for so long that it is rude and overbearing. Just add a drop of fresh water, and he immediately calms down, and you can read something.
The peat, fire, and soot are always there, but it opens to creamier, chocolaty flavors. It doesn’t get bland, so it’s always a rough Viking drink raiding while eating smoked herring, so don’t expect finesse or depth.
If you add water, the sip is dynamic and very sharp. It relaxes, driven by salt and peat struggling in an oily and dense sea. Between the returns of grass and flowers, splendid notes of mushrooms pump the sensation of umami—finish with hydrocarbons, white pepper, and algae.
A fiery son of Islay who deserves a taste but certainly doesn’t change your life. It appeals to the idea of Elsa’s wild and indomitable stallion-style distillate by the sea.
Honestly, it’s a bit too strong, and the alcohol content doesn’t help at all; indeed, it’s anything but serving the tasting.
It is not one of those high gradations that help support a broad aromatic framework, and then it would make sense. It is just a wink to heavy drinkers with a product that focuses on roughness in terms of flavor and image. Push on the accelerator and let Dominik Toretto be with you
There is no excellent research or meticulous study, but only a good blend left in the wild, but consciously.
Everything is corrected with a bit of water, it is not a problem, but it is undoubtedly not a calibrated whiskey. There is a problem if I have to add more water than necessary to make it drinkable; otherwise, I drink petrol directly. Even if, in the current times, there is the risk of spending more by buying super …
Price
It’s not that it’s not a good whiskey, it’s more than decent, but considering the price, it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth—sixty euros for the half-liter ampoule.
