Profile: What Makes Islay Storm Special

Which Islay distillery is hiding behind this single malt with plenty of peat smoke? A true Islay single malt from independent bottler C.S. James & Sons – a whole lot of Islay single malt for very little money! An Islay malt with almost biting peat smoke, you can feel the closeness to the sea, phenolic. On the palate, a lovely peaty sweetness combined with a touch of iodine and sea salt with traces of vanilla and spice. The finish is breathtakingly long, with smoky waves.

Die Warnung vor dem Torfaroma ist übertrieben! Dieser Whisky ist ausgezeichnet. Voll in der rauchigen Tradition der Islay Whiskeys.

Hat den Erwartungen komplett Stand gehalten.

Ein Whisky der auf jeden Fall wieder bestellt wird!

Geschmack: rauchig, Fruchnoten (Apfel, Apfelsinenschale), gertreidig, Eiche
Abgang: langanhaltend, wärmend, rauchige Nuancen noch lange zu spüren

Ideal für lange, nasskalte Abende. Ein Whisky, der in den rauhen Norden entführt und herrlich wärmt.

Wollte doch mal probieren ob der wirklich seinem Namen gerecht wird. Leider nicht. Man erwartet bei dieser Aufmachung etwas anderes. Für jene, die das erste mal Whisky von der Insel probieren wollen empfehlenswert. Ardbeg oder Bowmore haben dann doch mehr was von "Storm".
