A delicious ticket for a smoky journey to Islay.
After they gave us Highland Journey, Hunter Laing came up with another Scottish trip. Now, getting to the legendary island of Islay where almost every town has a distillery is quite an ordeal, so having them bottle its character as a mouthwatering Whisky is more than welcome. The bottler carefully selected barrels from the finest distilleries, blended the Whiskies and aged them in ex-Bourbon barrels, creating a truly Islay blend.
Smoke, peat and seaweed make you feel like you’re walking along the green coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The concoction was made by Master Blender Tom Aitken, who wanted to grab the essence of Islay, lock it in a liquid and offer it to all peat lovers like it was a postcard. It’s aromatic AF, rich and slightly influenced by Bourbon (ah, the vanilla notes). We can’t help but imagine sipping on it by the fireplace with a good book on the lap.
