Red Bag 17 Year Old Tasting Notes

Tasting notes by Dramfool

Colour: gold

Nose: with notes of sunflower, herbs and a minerality all leading to a light floral note, with of course that unmistakeable Islay peat. Adding water changes it to reveal and citrus and ripe banana sweetness.

Palate: While the peat comes through it does not dominate, could even be considered light and fresh version of this now more commonly heavy peated distillery style. Tropical fruit leads from pineapple to banana with a sweet citrus note and even a spiciness.

Finish: With a long elegant peaty smoke and a delicate sweetness the finish lingers.

How much is shipping?

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
