Notizen:
Bårelegs Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a Single Malt from of one of Islay’s most well-known distilleries, which must remain a secret! Our home island, Islay, with currently 8 distilleries in production, is famous for producing peated, smoky whisky, and ours has a refreshing sweet peatiness, balanced by a crisp finish. It is bottled at a higher strength of 46% vol. and like the very best Scotch whiskies, it is unchillfiltered for much greater mouthfeel and persistance.
Silver award winner at the IWSC 2018, bottled in small batches in a high-quality bottle with a cork enclosure, it is aimed at a more discerning customer.
Colour: pale gold
Nose: waves of peat, over embers, with sea breeze hints
Taste: fresh direct peatiness, with a touch of sweetness, balanced by crisp cereal notes. A long finish, with persistant peat smoke, leaving a clean palate.
Lords Of The Isles
Magnus III “Barelegs”, Viking King of Norway, ruled the islands of Scotland in the late 11th century. He adopted the Highland tradition of the kilt, hence his nickname! His successors were the Celtic Lords of the Isles, who ruled their domain from their base at Finlaggan on our home island, Islay.
Fiercely independent, lovers of life and community, we raise a glass to the Lords of the Isles and remind ourselves to live our lives like they did – born of adventure!
Boys Of The Isles
We, the ‘Islay Boys Ltd’, are Donald MacKenzie and Mackay Smith, from the villages of Port Charlotte and Portnahaven respectively, both situated on the Rhinns peninsula on the west of Islay, the mythical whisky island. We grew up amongst the 8 distilleries on Islay, and in our veins flows not blood, but Islay whisky!
