Isle of Skye 8 YR Blended Whisky

A rich brown sugar color. The nose offers a kiss of smoke, some sea salt and pepper. Rich and soft on the palate, the flavors are round with smoky nougat leading. There's lots of sweet malt, a dusting of pepper and a long, slightly salty finish. It gives and impression of elegance without every seeming wimpy. D&M Tasting Notes

Award winning Macleod's Isle of Skye Blended Scotch Whisky will once again be available throughout the USA after more than a decade's absence. Originating in Skye, one of the most widely celebrated Scottish Islands, and home of the Clan Macleod, Isle of Skye 8 Years Old is famed for its exceptionally smooth and mellow flavor, thanks to its high proportion of carefully selected Island and Speyside Malts. Isle of Skye is one of the few blends which carries an age statement, defining its age by the youngest whisky in the blend, with much of the malts in Isle of Skye much older. The Macleod's Isle of Skye 8 Years Old retails at $28.99 for a 750 ml bottle and will be available for purchase nationally. "An absolute must for any Islay-philes out there - in fact, a must for everybody. Your taste buds are beaten up and caressed simultaneously. One of the most enormous, yet brilliantly balanced, Scotch whiskies in the world." ~ Whisky expert, Jim Murray
