Islay Gold Lorcan Islay Single Malt

The nose is heavy with iodine, brine, and campfire. On first impression this is easily identifiable a peated Islay malt. Palate is initially sweet with salted caramel and toffee before being overwhelmed by ash and brine. The finish is long with lots of salt and some leather. A very impressive malt given the price point. There are some flavors reminiscent of Ardbeg and Caol Ila, but I would say this is most similar to Laphroaig. If you enjoy peated scotch this is a great bottle to pick up.

This is a peat and smoke monster like an Ardbeg but even more pronounced at the cost of balance. Strong ash flavor but yeah I am liking it. Salt comes through with the smoke. It's like an ocean side camp fire with a drop of citrus.

Lorcan Really good on the nose, strong peat taste, more than the Orla. (6/20)

A good peated everyday scotch.

Great bang for your buck!

Salty!
