Smokestack Limited Edition Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Brand: The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. | Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like standing near a wood-fired kiln on a breezy day, thick smoke rises, met with honeycomb sweetness, citrus oil, and a touch of sea salt.
Palate: Oily and rich, with robust peat smoke charging ahead, balanced by warm toffee, malt biscuits, baked ginger, and spiced vanilla.
Finish: Long, dry, and smoldering, like the dying embers of a campfire, leaving traces of spice, charcoal, and a final whisper of oak.

Production Details:
This whisky brings together smoky malts from Islay with fruitier Highland components, creating a blend that’s unapologetically bold yet thoughtfully layered. Aged in American oak and bottled without chill filtration or added color, it holds onto every nuance. The 30ppm phenol level strikes a balance between intensity and approachability, giving you big smoke without overwhelming the malt character.

Perfect For:
Perfect for slow nights and bold moods, picture yourself by a window on a rainy evening, dram in hand, music low, and thoughts drifting. Also brilliant as an after dinner pour that sparks conversation and commands attention.

Expert Notes:
Praised for offering big Islay-style smoke in a limited edition blend, this whisky earns admiration from seasoned drinkers and newcomers alike. Its honest strength and standout presentation make it a collector’s favorite and a conversation piece among smoky whisky lovers.

Customer Reviews:

“I wasn’t expecting this much punch from a blend. It's like peated fireworks in a glass.”
“Balanced but bold. The sweetness pulls the smoke back just before it gets too much.”
“It’s got the swagger of a single malt but the price of a smart blend. A sleeper hit.”

Interesting Fact:
The whisky’s runaway locomotive branding isn’t just artistic flair, it’s a literal representation of the experience. This dram moves fast, hits hard, and leaves a trail of smoke in its wake, just like the mighty steam engine that inspired it.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat if you want the full force of the peat, or add a few drops of water to coax out softer caramel and vanilla notes. It also makes a thrilling smoky highball if you're in the mood for something bold yet refreshing.
