Drambox Pride of Islay
Brand: Drambox | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 40% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
Drambox Pride of Islay isn’t here to whisper, it declares itself from the first pour. Born on the rugged coastlines of Islay, this single malt captures the raw spirit of the island: smoky, salty, untamed. It’s a bottle that pays homage to the distilling roots of a place where whisky isn’t just made, it’s forged by the sea and shaped by storm.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like walking through a harbor at dawn, peat smoke on the air, briny mist, and the faint sweetness of seaweed caramelizing over fire.
Palate: Intense and elemental. Bonfire smoke wraps around notes of citrus peel, toasted barley, and a bracing saltiness. There’s a chewy texture to it, earthy and bold, like the whisky is holding your attention hostage.
Finish: Long, dry, and echoing with smoke. It fades like waves crashing on rocky shores, not all at once, but in pulses.

Production Details:
While the exact distillery remains undisclosed, this is a classic Islay single malt bottled by Drambox with all the hallmarks of coastal craftsmanship. The peat, the salt, the ruggedness, nothing is filtered out, because nothing should be.

Perfect For:
Stormy nights and quiet reflections. Pour it when you're alone with your thoughts, or with company who appreciates whisky with backbone. Best enjoyed with the sound of rain or your favorite blues record playing low in the background.

Expert Notes:
Bottled for the adventurous palate, Drambox Pride of Islay has been lauded for delivering authentic Islay character without the premium markup. Reviewers highlight its honest expression — unpretentious, powerful, and unmistakably true to its origins.

Customer Reviews:

Serving Suggestions:
Drink it neat if you want the full experience. Add a few drops of water to open up hidden layers — like citrus, brine, and roasted nuts. Avoid heavy mixers; this whisky speaks loud enough on its own.
