Many years ago my husband and I were in the catering business and liked a whiskey or two. We finished in 85 at Royal St Georges Kent and my husband retired. Unfortunately He passed away Sept 2013. We had a bottle given to us of Islay Mist and could not drink it. I had come to the end of Grouse the other evening
and tried some Islay and it was lovely so I thought I would look on the internet. Perhaps you could guide me into a few to try.
Hi, Jean. Thanks for the comment. I’m sorry to hear about your husband. Will raise a glass to you both this evening.
As for Islay malts to try…? Hmmm. I would maybe start with something like Bowmore 12. Fairly priced, and very much an Islay malt. If you’re feeling brave and are interested in a little more oomph and a slightly bigger price tag perhaps Lagavulin 16 or Ardbeg Uigeadail. I think you’ll find others may recommend some other Ardbeg or Laphroaig releases, but they may be a little more ‘rambunctious’ for someone just testing the waters.
