Isle of Skye 12 Year Old Review
This release offers over a decade’s worth of age for the price of most entry-level whiskeys around the world. The producer did proof it down to 40 percent ABV, so even though the aromas are rich and nicely concentrated, the palate is slightly lacking in depth. However, that shouldn’t matter too much when mixed in cocktails, which this whisky is priced and placed for.
