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.

Erstaunlich gut

Was soll man schreiben? Ein Whisky ohne Altersangabe? Im Nosing und auch Tasting hat man das Gefühl, dass es sich hier um einen Laphroigh oder Ardbeg handelt. In jedem Fall ein starker Rauch, von dem man lange etwas hat. Trotz der nur 40% ein tolles Geschmackserlebnis ...

Review with rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Liegt zwischen dem trockenen, strengen Laphroig und dem warmen, vollem Ardbeg.
Starker Antritt für 40%.
Deutliche maritime Note.
Die Beschreibung oben ist nachvollziehbar, dazu noch eine leichte (Chilli-)Schärfe.
Nicht perfekt ausbalanciert, aber gut.
Preis/Leistung sehr gut.

Sehr leckerer und ausgewogener Whisky (für einen Islay). Hat trotzdem den typischen Islay Charakter. In seiner Preisklasse hat er ein überragendes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.
