Secret Islay 14 Years Old 2009 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Distilled in 2009 and matured for 14 years, this “Secret Islay” single malt captures the unmistakable coastal power and smoky depth that the island is famous for—while keeping its true distillery identity under wraps. Bottled at a commanding 53.7% ABV, it delivers bold character, intensity, and remarkable balance.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Waves of maritime peat smoke, sea breeze, and smouldering driftwood lead the way. Beneath the smoke lie notes of lemon zest, green apple, and subtle vanilla sweetness.

Palate: Powerful and full-bodied. Earthy peat and charred oak intertwine with caramel, toasted barley, and hints of briny salt. A touch of dark chocolate and cracked black pepper adds complexity.

Finish: Long, warming, and smoky, with lingering embers, coastal salinity, and a gentle sweetness that softens the peat’s edge.
