New Release & Review: Islay Mist Peated Reserve
MacDuff International (independent Scotch Whisky blenders) announce the first new addition to the Islay Mist range in almost 10 years. Islay Mist Peated Reserve adds a smokier finish while retaining Islay Mist’s unique balance. Created by master blender, Gilmour Burnett, this premium blend will be available in shops in the coming weeks in 700ml size and will soon also be produced in litre size for travel retail.
Islay Mist was created in 1922 in Islay to celebrate the 21st birthday of Lord Margadale. It was thought that the local single malt scotch, Laphroaig, might be too heavy for all the guests’ taste so this rare blend of Laphroaig with Speyside malts and grain whisky was born.
