" Smokey Joe "

"Smokey Joe" is a blend of Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskies, distilled on the island of Islay, off the south western coast of Scotland. We dont know exactly which distilleries are represented, so its a mystery to contemplate as you sip on a dram.

Islay malts take their characteristics both from the local peat used to dry the barley and their closeness to the sea. These factors, typically, imbue the malts with a distinctive sea-weedy, phenolic and peaty flavour.

Smokey Joe is bottled at 46% ABV to enhance impact and flavour. The whisky that makes up Smokey Joe has been selected for its highly engaging nose, balance of smoke and peppery spice on the plate and a lingering finish.

" This Islay Malt showers the senses with smoke and peaty impressions and yet, overall, one is left with a feeling of tranquil fulfillment, reflecting the balance and subtle complexity therein"

"Smoke fills the mouth and the sweetness hits a little later. Velvety and mouth coating"

"With 46% ABV, it'll make your chest warm, but it's so smooth! It finishes strong with smoke, ash, and a bit of hickory to taper you off gently. After every sip, I can't help but breathe out if only to experience and savor what's left lingering on my breath from that last sip, trying to steal back another taste of that finish for just one more second. It starts out surprising, and just gets better every second until you find yourself tasting it on your breath, wondering how this bottle of scotch just stole your heart"

Tasting Notes:

NOSE : Eruption of smoke mixed with refined marine aromas of damp seaweed and sea salt, with citrus notes - evocative of camp fires on the beach !

PALATE : Impeccable balance of smoke and peppery spice.

FINISH : Drifting on an ocean of lingering spice and peat.
