Notizen:
Flatnöse Blended Scotch Whisky is a rich, full-flavoured blend, with hints of pepper and smoke, bottled at a higher strength of 43% vol. Like the very best Scotch whiskies, it is unchill-filtered for much greater mouthfeel and persistance. Of course, there is Islay single malt whisky in the blend,
to add spicy, peppery notes – we wouldn’t have it any other way. Enjoy on its own, with ice or indeed with a splash of water or a mixer. It won the coveted Double Gold at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and is bottled in small batches, in a high-quality bottle with a cork enclosure, aimed at a more discerning customer.
Colour: rich gold
Nose: gentle and smooth with hints of pepper
Taste: initial vivacity, then spices evolving towards cracked black pepper, the whole supported by a rich and even background. Long and persistant, ending in a gentle sweetness
Lords Of The Isles
Ketill Flatnose was a Viking King of the Isles, a seafaring warrior who ruled the vast, rugged and wild western seaboard of Scotland in the late 9th century. 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!
