Blended Scotch Whisky
70cl / 46.3%
The second of historic blend Black Bottle's 2021 Alchemy editions is Black Bottle Alchemy Series Batch #2 Island Smoke, and it really sounds like a winner.
Over 20 different single malt components went into Black Bottle Island Smoke, and this is the more traditional of the two Alchemy Series bottlings, based around a 1984 blended malt and with a generous serving of peated whisky. At 46.3% Black Bottle Island Smoke looks like a great value drop.
