Islay Mist is one of our favorite blended whiskies. It debuted in 1928 in the offer of D. Johnson & Co. the then owner of Laphroaig.
Its formula was developed by Ian Hunter, then master of Laphroaiga distillation, on the occasion of John Granville Morrison, the son of a local nobleman, coming of age. The main components were Laphroaig and Glenlivet. In 1992, the brand was taken over by MacDuff International, which changed its formula to some extent, although Laphroaig is still included in it. The limited edition presented here (7,000 bottles) was combined with 8-year-old malt and grain distillates, after which the finished blend spent the next six months in Amontillado sherry casks from Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana.
Aroma: pleasantly balanced, peaty smoke, sea breeze, sweet cereals, vanilla, honey, apples, nut shells and a fleeting hint of sulfur.
Flavor: apples, white currants, salted peanuts, vanilla, white currants, white currants, white pepper and a touch of cocoa.
Finish: quite long, with notes of peat smoke, roasted nuts, sea salt, autumn fruit and a pinch of pepper.

PRODUCENT - Whisky
The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings. The so-called popular tulip glasses, the shape of which allows you to retain the aroma of whiskey, which is important during tasting. During the tasting, apart from the smell, the taste on the tongue, the finish and the balance of the whole are also assessed, often on a scale of 100 points. The whiskey served may be slightly diluted with water, which reduces the intensity of the flavor. It is also popular to serve whiskey with ice (on the rocks) or with cola, but the latter can be controversial.
