Undisclosed Islay The Islay Whisky Shop Whisky Miniature 9 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with a coppery-gold glow and mahogany edges; a warm, wine-like hue that hints at sherry influence and Islay maturation.

Nose

Coastal peat and sea-salted air rise first, edged with iodine and a whisper of ash. Beneath, rich sherry perfumery unfurls—dried cherry, fig, and dark cocoa mingle with toffee and toasted oak, adding a suave sweetness that tempers the smoke into a polished, lingering veil.

Palate

Bright peat smoke meets coastal brine, tempered by subtle sherry sweetness. Dried fruit, cocoa and oak weave through a smooth, slightly oily texture, while a gentle spice lifts the mid-palate. The finish is long and balanced, with a lingering ember of smoke.

Finish

Long maritime finish with soft peat and sea-salt breeze. Iodine and brine fade into warm sherry-fruited sweetness, cocoa and leather, then a gentle oak-spice echo lingers, delivering a refined, smoky afterglow.
