		Islay whiskies generally reverse the characteristics of Speysides, tending to be dry and peaty; behind the smoke, however, can be gentle mossy scents, and some spice.
		The southern Islay distilleries produce powerfully phenolic whiskies, with aromas redolent of tar, smoke, iodine and carbolic.

		Apparently this is the mildest of the Islay malts and lacks the dominant peatiness of its neighboring distilleries, in part because its water comes from an underground spring that is far from the peaty moors where the other distillers operate.

		In an atmosphere in which whisky connoisseurship has been defined by the single malts of Scotland, Glaser has championed not only vatted malts (marriages of pot-stilled single malts) and blends (malts blended with column-stilled grain whisky), but grain whisky itself -- the very ingredient that was thought to degrade blended whiskies.
		Vatted malts were rare at the time, usually created in the United Kingdom to commemorate events such as coronations, but it wasn't completely unheard of among whisky lovers.
		The whisky weds Highland, Speyside and Islay single malts, and all areas announce themselves on the nutty, sweet, smoky nose.
