Drinks By The Dram Islay Whisky Tasting Set

Islay is one of the most well-known Scotch whisky regions, not because of the size either the region or the distilleries therein, but because of the amazing character of the whiskies. Islay whiskies are invariably smoky and peaty, and this tasting set gives you a chance to try the best of the best.
Complete with a tasting notes booklet for each dram.
Please Note: The contents of Tasting Sets can be subject to change. However, please be assured that whichever set you order will contain five superb samples which will be of an equivalent value.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, burnished glow.
Nose
On the nose, Islay character unfurls with a bold peat smoke that lingers like coastal fog. Briny sea air and iodine balance with mineral ash, while subtle hints of leather, dried fruit and vanilla from sherry casks weave in, adding a glossy sweetness beneath the smoke.
Palate
Bold Islay peat smoke unfurls on the palate, wrapped in coastal brine and iodine. Sweet malt and sherry depth emerge, with cocoa, caramel, and a touch of spice. Silky yet assertive textures lead to a long, smoky finish, leaving charred oak and mineral salt lingering.
Finish
Long, smoky finish that lingers with peaty depth and coastal brine. Sea salt and ash persist, tempered by a whisper of sweetness and warm oak, fading slowly into a clean, refined afterglow.
