Whisky Review: Elements of Islay Cask Edit — a Scotch expression worthy of considered evaluation.

Palate

Not overly complex but well-balanced with a smoothness and pleasant palate coating oiliness. With a medium finish this is an acceptable sipper that I’d be more apt to use in cocktails more so than other Islay whiskies. The flavor profile is not so overbearing that it would mask other ingredients but rather would provide a more cohesive element to the mix than trying to steal the show. Additionally, it’s approachability makes this a good entry level Islay whisky for newcomers.
