Isle of Skye 8 Year Old
Isle of Skye 8 Year Old is a Scotch whisky from the Isle of Skye from Ian Macleod. It is crafted from a secret family recipe and Icelandic traditions using fine Speyside and Highland malts and grain whiskies. The youngest whisky in the blend is aged for at least 8 years, but most of the malts used are even older. They were then all matured together for a further 6 months in oak casks.
The honey-vanilla notes and sweet Speyside flavours, combined with the smoky and peaty influences of the Island whiskies, combine to create a superbly balanced and distinctive blend. The Isle of Skye whisky has also garnered high praise from Jim Murray, who called it a 'superstar whisky' in his 2019 Whisky Bible.
The bottlings are bottled at 40 % ABV with a 0,7 l alcohol content. We recommend serving on its own or in a variety of mixed drinks.
