What would I buy for up to 50 €? (II)
in NewsThe peaty whiskies.
Peated whiskies are not for everyone: either you love them or you hate them. I personally like them a lot.
Islay, known as “The Queen of the Hebrides”, is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides. It lies in Argyll just west of Jura and around 25 miles (40 km) north of the Irish coast and Rathlin Island, which can be seen on a clear day
Islay is the fifth largest Scottish island[3] and the sixth largest island surrounding Britain. It has just over three thousand inhabitants. It has a total area of almost 620 square kilometres (239 sq mi). Its main industries are malt whisky distilling, and tourism largely based on whisky and birdwatching.
You can sail to Islay shores with an Ardbeg 10 years old with its awesome peat and its fragant citrus aromas or get a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter, an incredible sweet salty peaty experience.
Bowmore 12 years old is a peat and salt combination that is hard to forget.
