Secret Islay Single Malt (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) (70cl, 45.8%)

This is an Islay single malt bottled by the independent bottler That Boutique-y Whisky Company, part of its core range. It is bottled at 45.8% in a 70cl bottle. Its colour comes only from the cask, and it is not chill-filtered. The green label shows a young stag. The nose combines clear campfire smoke with ripe peaches and apricots. On the palate, sweet stone fruit meets strong peat and a maritime note with marked saltiness. The long finish stays dry and peaty, with an impression of sea air.
