This Single malt whisky from The Roots comes from a famous secret Islay distillery whose profile leaves little room for doubt. Following a remarkable previous release, The Roots managed to secure another cask of Secret Islay 2009 that immediately stood out as too good to pass on. Matured for 16 years and bottled at natural cask strength (53.8%), this single malt shows greater maturity while retaining the powerful peated character typical of Islay’s finest whiskies.
The nose reveals saline smoke, cold ash, candied lemon and vanilla. The palate is oily and precise, combining rich peat, ripe citrus, soft spices and coastal minerality. Long smoky and maritime finish. As for the distillery itself, The Roots cannot officially disclose it, but admits they no longer have any doubts about this mysterious “A****G”.
On the south coast of a legendary island, this Secret Islay is one of Scotland's most iconic distilleries, renowned for its bold, powerfully peaty creations. Founded in 1815, it came close to extinction on several occasions, but the passion of whisky lovers saved it, and today it is cherished by thousands of fans around the world. Its single malts are unmistakable for their intense smoky aromas, mingled with hints of lemon, dark chocolate and spices. One of its bottlings is even named after a whirlpool that winds its way around the island. With intriguingly named editions such as “Uigeadail” and “Corryvreckan”, this distillery is a must for lovers of peat and character.
