Vintage Malt Whisky Co., Ileach Single Islay Malt
View Details
Ileach Single Islay Malt Whisky is a “secret malt” from one of the 8 whisky distilleries located on Islay and is bottled by the Vintage Malt Whisky Co. The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. was founded by Brian Cook in 1992 with the vision of producing a range of malt whiskies from Scotland’s finest distilleries and to make them available to independent wine and spirit importers throughout the world. Ileach Single Malt Whisky is essentially a youngish Islay malt from one of the big distilleries. It is bottled at a minimum of 5 years old and the spirit is matured in a mixture of ex-sherry butts and ex-bourbon wood. From the VMWC website, “In many ways this fine malt mirrors the character of Islay people, strong yet gentle, warm yet mellow, but with a maturity beyond its years. Robustly peaty, with an unmistakable breath of the seashore, the Ileach is a true man from Islay.”

Nose: A thick chunk of peat has been dissolved in my glass

Taste: The oil-peat-barley balance is spot on as is the bitter sweet tone: just stunning

Finish: The peat dissipates slowly to leave a slightly bitterish oaky influence but the spices compensate.
