Please note the condition of the front label.

This Islay Mist blended Scotch whisky was originally bottled by D. Johnston & Co. (Laphroaig) and dates back to when the brand was produced under Laphroaig’s stewardship.

Islay Mist itself was created in 1927 at Laphroaig by Ian Hunter to offer a smoky, approachable blend built around peaty Islay malt and Speyside malts, made lighter than straight Laphroaig for broader appeal.

The 8-year-old expression carries subtle peat smoke, maritime influence and gentle citrus and spice notes, reflecting its blend composition and Islay heritage.

Today Islay Mist is owned by MacDuff International and continues in various expressions.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Golden amber with warm honey hues and a subtle sunlit copper glow.

Nose

A gentle wisp of peat smoke lingers, mingling with a maritime breeze and sea-salt tang. Bright citrus zest unfolds, joined by subtle spice notes, creating an approachable Islay aroma with quiet depth.

Palate

On the palate, a gentle peat smoke threads through a maritime, briny frame with lemon zest. Subtle spice—ginger and white pepper—lifts the silky malt, while soft Speyside sweetness brings vanilla and honeyed notes, finishing clean, balanced and approachable.

Finish

Soft peat smoke lingers, carried by maritime brine and mineral notes. Citrus zest and gentle spice leave a bright, uplifting finish, fading to subtle vanilla sweetness and a crisp, salted-sea air aftertaste.
