The Character Of Islay Fiona Macleod - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 33 Year Old
In stock
Sourced from an undisclosed distillery, this is a perfect tribute to the enduring allure of Islay. Distilled in 1985, a time when distilleries on Islay were dramatically reducing production, being mothballed or lost forever - this bottling heralds Islay’s triumph in the face of adversity.
Quite the contradiction - one of many found on the island of Islay. Thanks in no small part to the earliest adopters of Islay Whisky and private cask buyers who kept the distillery in existence against all odds.
A whisky of profoundly bright character and charmingly accessible on the.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany.
Nose
An exclusive, refined nose that whispers of Islay: sea-salt and iodine lift with a wisp of peat smoke, while gentle sherry notes cloak dried fruit and citrus. Understated, elegant, and utterly inviting—a prelude to the whisky's profound character.
Palate
Salty iodine meets damp wood smoke, evolving into bright mango and candied ginger. A briny, citrus-bright mid-palate unfolds with dried fruit notes, finishing with a gentle sweetness and lingering maritime warmth.
Finish
Sweet barley sugar lingers with dried pineapple, while the fading bonfire smoke is gently quenched by ale, leaving a warm, lingering sweetness on the palate.
