85
- Nose
- Fragrant smoke, light tar, wet grass, burning fish boxes. In time there's Old English marmalade and fish oils and a hint of seaweed.
- Palate
- Immediate thrust of smoke with lots of oil, leather, plum and a vanilla smoothness. Long layered and balanced.
- Finish
- Superb length.
- Comment
- Here we go again...Caol Ila hits the nail on the head yet again.
82
- Nose
- Youthful and intense with plenty of peat, wet grass and fish oil.
- Palate
- Dark chocolate and sweet vanilla. Earthy and grassy, with silky, creamy mint. Like peat-flavoured bubblegum.
- Finish
- Earthy.
- Comment
- Bristling with all those flavour spikes that make the Peat Freaks grin. Like a mint choc chip and peat ice cream.
