Wilson & Morgan House Malt
$58.49
Bottled at 43% this mystery malt is presumed to have come from Islay.
From the Bottler:
Following the trend of the 2013 release, this new bottling marries heavy peat with a less aggressive approach on the palate, showing that it’s possible to match extreme smokiness with a gentle, rich and caressing mouth feel. The tarry and charred notes of Islay are well matched by a soft malty sweetness, and the accurate choice of oak casks increases complexity and the winey/vegetal/fruity background. It’s a well-orchestrated symphony of smoke against a tapestry of velvety autumnal aromas. Still very maritime, but in this edition – the best of recent years – the candied orange, heather honey, peanut, banana and pipe tobacco notes are almost as fascinating as the peat & sea spray. A luscious, intense and incredibly approachable Islay malt!

Beautifully packaged this new Glenmorangie is the oldest whisky in the core range. "dried fruits, blackberries, plums and dates are married with chocolate, coffee and cinnamon spice" Selling for $500 in the UK! Distillers Tasting Note: Aroma: The lingering late summer scent of fruit orchards laden with cherries and plums and hedgerow blackberries is melded with lavish chocolate and coffee tones followed by the sudden, icy clarity of fresh wild mint. Taste: Big and full-flavoured, the effect is mouth-watering, chewy and then lightly mouthcoating. Finish: Intense warmth, heady with brambles and spices that melts softly away.
