Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 50 by Martine Nouet and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Phenolic. Burning tyre. Soon covered by more marine scents. Something mineral, brown seaweeds, a light note of fragrant sea air. The distillery character shining.
Palate
Sweet and velvety. The peat comes through smoke and a dry sooty feel. A touch of smoked haddock.
Finish
Dry, sooty, fresh
Comment
The same phenolic profile as in very young but more disciplined and rounder.

Dave Broom

Nose
Overtly peaty, sweeter than the Young One, lime marmalade, oak, floral, peat fire smouldering on the beach. With water, light soot and a balancing creaminess.
Palate
Sweet start. Phenols come in middle and towards the back, adding weight to the middle palate. Smoke moving into medicinal flavours.
Finish
Oatcake, smoke, lingering.
Comment
The feeling is of better integration and balance.
