This right here is a 15 year old single malt distilled by Laphroaig on Islay and bottled for The Stories of Wind & Wave series by The Character of Islay Whisky Company! The range shows off the deliciousness you'll find on the Inner Hebridean, this is a great example. It was matured in a single refill bourbon barrel for 15 years, and bottled up in some particularly handsome bottles, we will say.|TASTING NOTES|• NoseWaxy peels, peppermint leaf and smoky black tea with a touch of baked earth to it.• PalateSweet smoke with savoury hints of salted butter and cedar underneath, plus stone fruit developing later on.• FinishPolished oak, a touch of ash and continuing fruity elements.
Wind & Wave Octomore 10 y 2007
A heavily peated single malt from the Bruichladdich Distillery, released under the Octomore name, bottled by The Character of Islay Whisky Company for The Stories of Wind & Wave series. The indie bottling range is all about showing off the brilliant whiskies from Islay, and this supremely smoky single malt is indeed fantastic. Interestingly, it was drawn from Chateau d'Yquem casks, introducing a touch of sweetness to the mix.
