Whisky Review: Isle of Skye 30-Year-Old landed on my desk, carrying a $321.99. The nose boasts lush, earthy notes like forest floor after it rains, along with rich aromas price tag. Here is what I found.
Nose
The nose boasts lush, earthy notes like forest floor after it rains, along with rich aromas of fragrant red berries, cinnamon, citrus, buttery caramel, and salted pretzels. The palate is just as vivid in complexity as the nose with additional notes of warm spices, black tea, lemon citrus, vanilla, orchard fruits, and brown sugar, with hints of soft leather and chocolate malted balls.
Palate
This blended scotch has a rich depth of character with a slightly grainy texture that generously clings to the tongue in a long, deep finish. It is very well balanced with a savory sweetness that beautifully displays the broad flavor profile. Overall, this is a delicious blended scotch whisky thats best saved for a special occasion or for sharing with only your closest fellow whisky enthusiasts.
