House Malt 1990-2014 23 Year Old Wilson & Morgan #17 48%

It tasted more like Bunna than Lagavulin. House Malt HOUSE MALT 1990-2014 23 Year Old WILSON&MORGAN #17 48% Sherry Butt The nose is dominated by strong sherry, prunes, chocolate, spices like herbs and cloves, sweet-and-savory braised meat, and a pronounced peat. On the palate, it starts with a smooth mouthfeel, expanding into rich aromas of prunes and black sugar, caramelized nuts, a full-bodied texture, subtle tannins, briny notes, peat, and a long finish. [Good/Very Good] A single cask Islay malt bottled by Wilson & Morgan under the House Malt label in 2014, aged for 23 years from a 1990 vintage. The sherry cask clearly expresses rich sweet nuances like prunes and black sugar, with a meaty character. While it feels somewhat rustic, the strong sweetness, briny Islay characteristics, and peatiness are present, with a slightly oily texture and long finish. This bottle was rumored to be Lagavulin due to bottler regulations preventing distillery disclosure. While it could fit Lagavulin's peat intensity, the strong rustic impression led to an intuitive leaning toward Port Ellen (Bunna) for its peat profile. #Unknown Distillery
