ILA MOINE 2008 10YO MURRAY MCDAVID 46% 70CL

Pronounced eela-moyn, this is a vibrant and powerful single malt distilled on the south coast of Islay, next to the Lagavulin Distillery. Although most of the peated barley comes from Port Ellen, this is one of the few distilleries to still send smoke through its own maltings, creating a character like no other. MMcD Whisky Creations Team have nurtured this Islay heavyweight in a refill bourbon barrel, providing a soft sweetness whilst allowing the phenols within the spirit to remain dominant. A wonderfully balanced dram which should be recognisable to the curious whisky buff. Nose: sweet peat, earthy, citrus Palate: heavy peat, coastal, vegetal Finish: gentle, oily peat
