Islay Scotch whisky is renowned for its intensely smoky and peaty character, which originates from the Isle of Islay in Scotland. This distinctive flavor profile is a result of the traditional whisky-making processes used on the island, where peat fires are used to dry the malted barley, imparting a rich smoky aroma and taste. In the Smoky Islay Old Fashioned, this unique Islay Scotch whisky provides a deep and complex foundation with a bold smokiness that distinguishes this cocktail from other Old Fashioned variations.
