A Secret Islay Distillery 1990 TWA 51.5% 700ml information

Introducing the Secret Islay Distillery 1990 TWA, an exquisite 31-year-old whisky bottled by The Whisky Agency. With a robust 51.5% ABV and elegantly presented in a 700ml bottle, this rare release is limited to just 252 bottles. Crafted in 1990 and bottled in 2022, this whisky offers a complex and intriguing flavor profile that is sure to delight any discerning palate.

On the nose, this whisky starts off gentle and refined, with notes of wet wool, mineral, leather, and waxy/fatty notes reminiscent of sunflower oil and faded ashes. As you delve deeper, you may detect hints of lime and pineapple, as well as fresh oil paint and bright mint. Whiffs of sea breeze linger in the background, adding to the whisky's coastal charm. Bright fruits like loquats, yellow peaches, and pomelos come forward, with minimal peatiness and touches of pith, minerals, and paraffin. Juicy starfruit, lemon gum candies, and butter cookies add sweetness, while bubble gum balls, canned cherries, bananas, and a distant egg tart develop over time. After a sip, garlic sprouts can be found.

As you take a sip, the whisky's antiseptic, embrocation, and saline pungency quickly take center stage. However, this is soon followed by a burst of fruity notes, including grapefruit, passion fruit, and guava. A few olives in brine and bitter almonds add a savory touch, leading to a finish of herbal tea. Initially mellow, it evokes diluted fruit juice with canned mangos and apricots slowly added. Peat arrives gently with citrus zest, longans, rambutan, and orange pulp jelly. Orange pith, white wall paint, smoked green grape peels, burnt magazine, and some olive oil characterize the finish. A minute later, grain biscuits, Western medicine, cloves, and moss linger long.

Overall, this whisky offers an almost theatrical development, starting off gentle and refined, but quickly becoming more intense and powerful on the palate. It's a truly unique and unforgettable whisky that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
