Williamson 9 Year Old (Sample)

Single Malt Scotch Whisky

By now we hope you know the South Shore Islay distillery behind the name "Williamson".

A house favorite here at SCN HQ. Given its final 3.5yrs in a PX Sherry cask, this Williamson is quite a bit different from the one we released least year. This Islay dreamboat of a whisky has a smoky, nostalgic start with kippers, milky tea, and buttered toast, followed by an oily, umami-rich palate of spice, cheesecake, and miso, finishing with salty kippers and a peppery bite. It's a must have for every Islay whisky fan. It will scratch that itch and then some!

Tasting Notes

NOSE: Opens on kippers (smoked haddock) sat on a 1970’s breakfast table (milky tea and buttered white toast with a cigarette burning in the ashtray), hints of cinnamon, sea salt, and bothy smoke peek around the edges

PALATE: Oily and fatty with spice and umami: white chocolate cheesecake, butter shortbread, cinnamon Red Hots, and miso soup. Cracked black pepper resides to the back of the palate and informs the finish

FINISH: Long and lasting with obvious kippers and black pepper but there’s an overall saltiness that’ll have you licking your gums
