Blackadder Peat Reek Islay Single Malt 46%abv

I also came across this single malt at the LCBO. A piece in the Globe and Mail Toronto newspaper described it as:

"A single-cask offering sourced from an unnamed Islay distillery and matured by Edinburgh-based producer Blackadder, it's deceptively light in colour because, unlike many whiskies, it contains no caramel colouring. It's also not stabilized with chill-filtering, so the lusciously round oils remain intact. Initially delicate, the flavour mounts with spice, then seaweed and iodine on the long finish".

Has anyone tried it? It is reasonably priced here in Ontario it seems.

If it is the Blackadder Smoking Islay then i have had a bottle and it was excellent. I believe all Blackadder bottlings are single cask bottlings so all are very limited releases so no 2 batches of Blackadder Smoking Islay will be identical. They do not name the distillery as the source will not let them and if they did they would loose there source.

It was a big smoky peaty whisky and i would say it came from one of the big smoky peaty producing southern Islay distilleries, i thought it could have been Ardbeg. If you do get a bottle let us know what you think and where you think it may have originated from.

I had a bottle of this a while back and was very impressed, a youthful big peaty dram i thought. For a few pound more there was also a Blackadder Smoking Islay Raw Cask 12 year old cask strength bottling.
