75
- Nose
- Very flowery, heathery, light seaweedy, emphatically salty.
- Palate
- Firm and dry at first, with a touch of iron. Slight oiliness, and a suggestion of peat. Becoming maltier and sweeter, with touches of heather.
- Finish
- Long, with a range of subtle flavours.
- Comment
- Very slightly spirity, but appetising.
70
- Nose
- The lightest, creamiest of all Islay's noses, but contains a surprising richness. There is also a fruit salad sweetness with diced apples.
- Palate
- Fresh, intense malt which clings to the roof of the mouth alongside some slightly bitter oaky notes.
- Finish
- Pleasant, medium length but rather one dimensional. A chalky, vanilla finale.
- Comment
- This dram has changed in recent years; less silky and more malt sharp but very easy going.
