72- Nose
- Nutty. Marzipan.
- Palate
- Very sweet. Develops some dried fruit. Nutty maltiness. A hint of lemon peel. Saffron.
- Finish
- Quick. Hot.
- Comment
- Where's the peat-smoke? Not very Islay.
Dave Broom
82- Nose
- Hefty with toasty oak, sweet mandarin, orange blossom, oat, then piney notes. A substantial elegant nose.
- Palate
- Smooth and silky. The orange reappears with honey and cooked fruits. Concentrated and rich.
- Finish
- Long, silky.
- Comment
- A substantial drink with an all-enveloping charm.
