100° Proof is a punchy Islay single malt from Port Askaig. With notes of sweet fruit, peat smoke and minerality, this is a benchmark Islay whisky and a great everyday peaty dram at this price.

Tasting Notes (2)
Excellent young sweet peat. Extremely simple, very good. Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by the Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Rich with meaty smoke, burning logs, sea spray and rock pools.

    • Palate

      Milky coffee and milk chocolate follow stony minerality. Cinnamon spice and stewed apple develop.

    • Finish

      Sweet, spicy and very long – cinnamon and chocolate.

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Nose

      Rich, with a meaty smokiness that belies its light colour. Freshly cooked ham and burning logs are joined by a soft coastal character of sea spray and stony rock pools.

    • Palate

      Sharp and stony initially, with an intense minerality that quickly becomes sweet and rich – milky coffee, milk chocolate and spicy cinnamon gobstoppers. The spice grows, adding liquorice and stewed apple with cinnamon, along with heavy charcoal smoke.

    • Finish

      Sweet, spicy and very long. Cinnamon-spiced chocolate slowly fades to drying apple skin.

    • Comment

      More powerful than you might expect, with carefully balanced smoke and fruit.

    Greg U (Calgary Canada not Scotland),

    I wasn't taken by this initially but now I can't stay away from it. It has a perfect marriage of sweet and smoke and then the liquorice in the finish is exquisite.
