Description
Islay Mist 12 Years Old is a high-quality blended Scotch whisky that combines the unmistakable smokiness of Islay whiskies with the harmony and complexity of a well-matured blend. Islay Mist is known for its hand-picked blend of various Islay single malts, which are refined with a selected proportion of grain whisky. The 12-year-old Islay Mist is characterised by its rich aroma, intense peat and smoke character as well as a fine sweetness, which is the result of long maturation in oak casks.
With an alcohol content of 40% vol., the whisky is well-balanced, with a remarkable depth that appeals to both beginners and experienced whisky lovers. Maturation over 12 years ensures a smooth transition between the typical Islay smokiness and a softer, more complex flavour level. Ideal for pure enjoyment or for those who want to bring out the flavours in a whisky cocktail.
