  It's a nice malt but if you like peated Islay malts then this is not particularly peated.

  I was impressed! This Scotch has a very satisfying smell and taste. For an Islay, it is not overwhelming with peaty flavor. It is just right.

  Just stumbled upon it (not literally) last year and it’s become my sipping Whiskey. A hint of peat, a warm smooth finish – my go-to Scotch.

  Used to love it. Bought one - cork fell apart. Whisky ruined. Distillery ignored emails.

  I really enjoyed this. I love the hint of caramel and vanilla combined with a subtle oaky smoke.

  This scotch flew under my radar for awhile, especially since Islay whisky always seems worth trying. Make this one no exception. Has a warm and sweet yet complex nose, and a rich, creamy cherry-vanilla taste. Not heavily peated but it's there in the background. All around a simply delicious and awesome whisky that intrigues every time you try it--there's a lot going on here. First tried this the same night we also got a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15; they are quite different but both rather overlooked, and absolute winners in our book! Give this outstanding single malt a try.

  This is great stuff that’s very unique in a several ways. For one thing it doesn’t have the trademark Islay peat. It’s heavily sherried which is also unusual for an Islay whisky. On the nose and initially on the palate this presents itself as a sherry bomb. Somewhere in the middle something coastal and medicinal kicks in. The initial sherry sweetness is well balanced by the tangy mineral like coastal notes. I’ve probably had over 30 entry level single malts over the last eight years and for some reason I’ve been reluctant to try this. I wish I had done so sooner. For me, for a whisky to become part of my regular rotation, it must be unique and challenging. I will definitely be buying more of this in the future.

  Really enjoy this dram! I had been searching for something sweet but with a touch of smoke and this is in my opinion the perfect combination. Cant go wrong with the price either. Will definitely keep an extra bottle.

  I love peated whiskies but when I don't fancy the full on peaty assault of Ardbeg or Laphroiag this is my go to Islay whisky. Incredible depth of flavor, lovely smokey finish. Excellent value.

  As a Scot and whisky drinker for 50 years this is to me a beautiful old fashioned malt- in same league as Bowmore 15 dark not quite a Macallan 18 sherry cask but pretty close- don't tell Distell how good this is or the price will go through the roof

  I have been experimenting with various "higher end" single malt scotches. Most of them more pricy than this. I am thoroughly enjoying the Bunnahabhain 12. It's the most interesting scotch I have had to date.

  The Gentle Islay 18 March

  I like a peat bomb, but this whiskey goes for gentle and subtle. It's a masterpiece. Just a sip and the flavor lingers on and on and on.

  Lovely single malt, drop of water or cube of ice brings out the flavour.

  I am a lover of Highland single malts. I also really enjoy a great Kentucky Straight bourbon. This is as smooth as anything I have ever tasted. This was my first bottle but not my last.

  It’s the most smoothest malt I have ever tasted! I found it when I cleaned my dads house out - he obviously kept it for something special-it brings back happy memories of him — do not add water! It would be an insult to the Whisky
