the six isles island blended malt scotch whisky

review by anonymous

Color

Pale honey

Nose

Musty sweet like damp sack cloth with a hint of iodine.

Body

Smooth and fine.

Palate

The hefty Orkney asserts itself with a powerful sweet malty smokey taste but still allowing the salt and iodine of the Islay whisky through.

Finish

This is a subtle blend which has an initial smooth satin taste on the tongue but is so light it doesn't linger on the palate as long as west coast single malts.

Deceptively light, and so easy to drink, this one creeps up on you unlike the big hitters.
