The Lord of the Isles was originally bottled in 2001, & unofficially, it was released as an Approx. 25 year old whisky, comprised of 1976 & 1977 casks. It is said to always contain casks from 1976 & 1977 so the whisky would be older as each bottling run was released. Much like the Ardbeg 17, the actual age of Lord of the Isles increases towards the end of its bottling life. Theoretically, the LOTI in 2007 was almost 30 years old. Nose: Deep, rich & sweet: the sweetness of chocolate, marzipan & cherries surrounds a deep & peaty centre revealing the warmth of leather & a heady oily characteristic. Beneath the oil, cocoa & a rich maltiness are discovered. With water, the flavour spectrum is widened as both smoke & salt emerge from the sweet & peaty complexity giving woodsmoke, tarry rope & leather. Later, the delicacy of mandarin fruit is discovered, followed by hints of heather & lavender scent. Taste: Powerfully peaty & chewing, with a luscious silky & oily mouth-feel balanced by a mouth-watering effect. The taste is initially sweet with vanilla & chocolate giving way rapidly to a crescendo of peat & cocoa. Finish: Long & dry with chocolate malt & crushed peat resting satisfyingly on the palate ...
