Introducing the Islay Mist Peated Reserve McDI Blended Scotch Whisky, an exceptional and unique blend that has captivated whisky enthusiasts since its inception in the 1920s. Crafted by MacDuff International, this whisky boasts a higher proportion of Islay whiskies compared to the rest of the range, giving it its distinctive and bold character. The story behind this whisky is as fascinating as its taste. It was originally created by Ian Hunter, the former distiller of Laphroaig, who was tasked with concocting a special drink for an aristocrat's 21st birthday. Knowing that the potent Laphroaig single malts might be too intense for the young celebrant, he softened them with grain whiskies and sweet, light Speyside whiskies. This unique blend was personally approved by John Morrison, the 1st Baron Margadale, before the party. In 1992, the brand became part of MacDuff International and has since gained renewed popularity through increased marketing efforts. Today, there are many brands that specialize in peaty and smoky Islay whiskies, but the Islay Mist Peated Reserve remains a classic and much-loved choice. This whisky is a blend of peaty Laphroaig single malts, grain whiskies, and sweet Speyside whiskies, creating a complex and layered flavor profile that is both bold and approachable. The peat smoke and iodine notes of the Islay whiskies are balanced by the sweet and smooth character of the Speyside whiskies, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying finish. Whether you're a seasoned whisky drinker or new to the world of Scotch, the Islay Mist Peated Reserve McDI Blended Scotch Whisky is a must-try. Its unique blend of peat, smoke, and sweetness makes it a versatile and enjoyable drink, whether neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
