This whisky was the best selling bottle on Master of Malt in 2023, striking a great balance between price and performance. The label says it all: unapologetically peaty, with maritime character and a gentle lick of sherry. A quintessential Islay whisky, in other words.

First pouch from Whisky me , very sweet not a peaty lover although the more I drink the more I like ! Not for me though :+1:
Not my favourite, but I am sure some will like it.
Bit tepid when compared to other Islay drams as it's at 40%, however a good gateway into this genre.
If you're a fan of the big and bold Laphroig style Islay whiskies then this will not disappoint. More refined than Laphroig Select /Select Oak with a touch of saltiness. Would certainly be happy to buy a full bottle as a great price, but for others it may just be too smoke and peat.
This has been my second dram from a subscription and this is a very good one for me. Nice and peaty and rounded.

Really enjoying the variety of the samples delivered. I had a problem over a missing delivery but the problem was sorted very quickly and I was very impressed with yiur response.
About the 8th of the month I start watching the postie making his rounds in eager anticipation of delivery of latest WhiskyMe dram.
Four months in and I'm happy to say it's been a good experience sampling whisky I probably wouldn't have purchased. They've all been interesting and the leaflet with the tasting notes is welcome too.
Now I keep the little orange pouch to the Thursday internet tasting. As an amateur whisky lover I'm intrigued by the fulsome technical descriptions of the distilling process. Each distillery seems to have an individual approach developed over the years. Half of it I don't begin to understand but it's quite pleasant sitting sipping a dram listening to the chat and enjoying their enthusiasm.
So far all the Whisky Me drams gave been excellent and I also bought a bottle of the KinGlassie 12 year old after the tasting as it really hit the bullseye for me.
My subscription was a birthday gift and it's a great present.
The mix of a novel dram like Hogsworth with a more traditional Loch Lomond was inspired. Charming presenting as ever!
Timely, responsive, great value. . . . I highly recommend WhiskyMe to any and all who drink whisky!
