Nose
Very restrained. Flowery, leafy. Dry earth, sand. Sea air. Palate
Lightly creamy. Drying. Salt and pepper. Finish
Sandy. Cayenne pepper. Passion fruit. Comment
A more familiar Islay style, with plenty of pep.

Nose
Fresh and lively with light toffee, nutmeg, vanilla ice cream and then melted milk chocolate. With water there's malt and toasted wood. Palate
A sweet start with light oak tones and a freshness which clears the head. Chocolate with vanilla. Good balance. Finish
Vanilla. Comment
A good addition to an impressive range.
