85
- Nose
- A hearty whiff of marine air with phenolic notes in the background. White currant and lemon zest. Tender vanilla echoes.
- Palate
- Silky. Coating. Oily mouthfeel. Sea lettuce.
- Finish
- Big, warm, exploding waves of spices. Water disciplines the outburst.
- Comment
- Hold your glass to your ear and listen to water lapping against the tarred boat hull.
82
- Nose
- Oily/waxy with peach, honey and some subtle smoky bacon/pancetta notes that grow in time.
- Palate
- Sweet start. As luscious as the nose suggests. Great texture, with the peppery smoke weaving seamlessly around the soft fruits and gingery spices.
- Finish
- Full. Rounded.
- Comment
- Superb balance. Shows how classy and complex a vatted malt can be.
