This blend is described as “containing a high proportion of Island and Speyside malts.” The nose is quite mild, some malt sweetness and vanilla. Good. The taste is honey sweet at first, then gets floral before peat and smoke. Quite a bold flavor profile for a blend. The finish has more peat, some oak, some floral notes and then mint right at the end. I guess there has to be some Talisker in this blend as Skye’s only distillery and drives the smokiness of this blend.
