Nose
Intensely smoky. Dry, clean, tangy smoke. Like standing downwind of the barbecue while steaks are char-grilled on the beach. Palate
Firm, very smooth, then explodes on the tongue. Finish
Hot. Alcoholic. A shock to the system. Comment
The elemental opposite of the sophisticated Lord of the Isles.
Dave Broom
Nose
Sweet yet pungently smoky: lime marmalade and peat fires on the beach, malt, cocoa powder, salted herring. Palate
Rich, concentrated and powerful. Sooty with light tarry/liquorice touches. The lime returns. Great presence but subtle in its own way. Finish
Long. Biscuity malt. Comment
Some dram!
