Black Bottle Alchemy Series Batch #2 - Island Smoke Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
A simply splendid 1984 blended malt is the star, of that there is no doubt, but there are no less than 20 other components woven around it, the result of which is a perfect balance of peated malt and unpeated grain.
Spices surge forward, with nods of chilli, cardamom and even an undercurrent of seaweed. The smooth and smoky, the ebb and the flow – just like the tide hitting the shore, prepare to sail away on a voyage of taste and discovery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Copper-gold with warm amber depths and a honeyed, sunlit glow.
Nose
Peat-smoked with a maritime glow, this nose carries sea salt and coastline brine. Spices surge—crisp chili and warm cardamom—alongside a sweet malt undertone. A whisper of seaweed deepens complexity, while subtle sherry-cask warmth lingers, creating a balanced, island-tinged bouquet that invites a voyage of discovery.
Palate
Silky and expansive on the palate, it unfurls peat-laden warmth with a maritime sweetness. Peat smoke mingles with spiced notes of chili and cardamom, while a whisper of seaweed salt adds depth. A rich malt backbone carries a suave, mouth-coating texture into a long, resinous finish that drifts from smoke to spice.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with saline seaweed and coastal smoke, mingling with a warming veil of chilli and cardamom. Peat sweetness lingers, softly evolving into a dry, smoky echo that stays like a tide’s memory.
