That Boutique-y Whisky Company Islay 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

That Boutique-y Whisky Company Islay 8 Year Old is a small-batch Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky from TBWC’s Core Range. The producing Islay distillery is deliberately undisclosed. The whisky is created from a marriage of refill ex-Bourbon hogsheads and refill ex-Sherry octaves, combining coastal peat smoke with citrus, roasted malt, dried fruit, vanilla and oak. It is bottled at 45.8% ABV, at natural cask-matured colour and without chill filtration.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, barbecued pork, mature cheddar, roasted nuts, grilled meats or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Peat-forward and coastal with earthy smoke, citrus and roasted malt balanced by dried fruit, vanilla, oak and sweeter stewed-fruit character.

Nose: Zesty citrus and earthy peat smoke with roasted malt, hay, fudge, dried fruit and oak.

Palate: Dry, punchy peat smoke leads into juicy fruit, warming vanilla, oak and stewed-fruit sweetness.

Finish: Lingering smoke and fruit with citrus, warm vanilla, pepper and drying oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat to appreciate its smoky Islay character, or add a few drops of water to bring forward the citrus, fruit and vanilla notes.
