At some point, they decided that they should try to create the most Islay flavored of all the Islays and began doing really cool things with the various notes normally found on the island. That said, Bowmore is the oldest distillery on the island and tends towards the sweeter side.Īrdbeg first started making whiskey 1798, and waited almost 20 years to go commercial. Islays tend towards peaty, smokey, and salty often with a touch of iodine. The Isle of Islay is home to several famous distilleries, most notably Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Lagavulin.
What I’m drinking: Ardbeg Corryvreckan Scotch Here we answer a fundamental question of life: “should you drink this?” My approach was best stated by the philosopher Montgomery Burns: “I know what I hate, and I don’t hate this”.
Instead I prefer to focus on whether or not something is good. But I’m not someone with a refined palette who can tell the difference between something having notes of coffee versus notes of leather.
