I’m very curious what the origin of this NAS Islay single malt is, from Costco/Kirkland. If I’d never seen the label, I’d have guessed Highland Park. But on Islay, the nose says rejected Laphroaig barrels to me. On the palette, I get Ardbeg characteristics but in a way that wouldn’t lead to bottling under that distillery’s label. It’s an Alexander Murray & Co. bottling. Does anyone else have notes, ideas, or actual information about the origin?
