Islay Mist

Has anyone tasted the RMW house blend - Islay Mist?

From their description it certainly sounds interesting:

ISLAY MIST RMW House Blend
Having tasted this blind at a staff tasting, we were all so impressed we decided to make this our 'House Blend'. Our opinion has been backed up by a panel of experts at a recent whisky tasting where it was awarded a silver medal.

JMR's Smokey and Peaty One, won a gold medal and it's $15 cheeper per bottle at the LCBO. The Islay Mist does have an attractive metal container though.

Islay Mist is at the LCBO? I've never seen it!

At RMW the Islay Mist is actually the cheapest one;

Islay Mist: £12,99
Smokey Peaty One: £17,00

Oh well, both are inexpensive, I think I just have to buy them both

Islay Mist tastes of Laphroaig but without the stong nose.

One of the few blends that tastes like a malt and no home should be without it.

RMW Islay Mist is a fantastic whisky for the price! They boys at RMW wouldn't put their name to a whisky if they didn't think it was of exceptional quality. They certainely know their stuff

I have now found an Islay Mist (NAS) and while I would'nt call it "exceptional", it is certainly a very nice little whisky for it's price.

It's very smokey and a nice everyday dram if you're into Islay whiskies.

Thanks for the advice

Before you make too many price comparisons with the JMR whiskies, check the bottle size. The bottlings I picked up were all 500ml, so first check that you are not comparing a 700ml price with a 500ml price.
