Islay, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | Scotland / Islay |
Description
The «Secret Islay» was distilled in a secret Islay distillery, hence its special name. This Single Malt matured for 14 years in a refill bourbon cask and shows briny peat smoke, green olives and a hint of vanilla on the nose. On the palate, creamy sweet vanilla meets «burning» campfire with hints of peanut butter and black pepper. The finish is sweet spice and warming hints of peat smoke. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.

Scotland
Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
