Isle of Skye 18yo (bottled 1980s)

Ian Macleod Distillers
Blended malt - Islands
Bronze
43% ABV
Dram

Nose: Chocolate, desiccated coconut, lemon juice, cucumbers, peat, autumn leaves, hints of malted grains. 
Mouthfeel: Medium body, loosens, tingly, warm. 
Tasting:  Sweet sour. Desiccated coconut, white chocolate, autumn leaves, peaches, peat, lemon juice, hints of coffee. 
Finish: Long. Lemon juice, peaches, white chocolate, fresh cut grass. 

Comments: 

Great blend, contains a lot of ‘60s Talisker. Less complicated than I thought it would be, also a lot less smoky. It’s still quite earthy and peaty though, and delicious.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
