Malt Masters Whisky Tasting- A Taste of Islay

Join Malt Masters and let us take you to the Scottish Atlantic coast, beaten by wind and sea, for a night of Islay mystery! Sampling 4 of the classic Islay malts and uncovering the secrets to their smokey, salty notes. We will guide you through their unique tastes and aromas; whilst sharing stories from this ancient isle.

In this special tasting we will cover the basics of whisky making and production with a deserved focus on Islay and it’s influence as a whisky producing region and arguably the most famous in the world.

The Whiskies

Ardbeg Corryvreckan (57.1% vol)– World’s Best Single Malt Whisky at the World Whisky Awards 2010 and Best No Age Statement Scotch from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
Bowmore 15 Darkest (43% vol)– This whisky spends its last 3 years matured in an Oloroso sherry cask and is an example of a perfect marriage of peaty smoke and sweet sherry.
Kilchoman Machir Bay (46% vol)– The distillery baby of the group but is producing some spectaculat expressions. This one gives us a mix of both ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts.

Bunnahabhain 12 years old (46.3% vol)– This lightly peated Islay whisky is the most tame of the pack but still packs a flavour punch! Great for Islay beginners.

This event is fully hosted by our very own Malt Masters Whisky Ambassador, who is on hand to answer any questions you may have. Snacks will be provided.
