- Nose
- Liniment and farmyard.
- Palate
- Honey on hot porridge, before a mushroom cloud of peat blows your head off.
- Finish
- A rollercoaster ride of pepper, huge amounts of billowing smoke, then vanilla, mint and choc fudge.
- Comment
- I just love this un-chill filtered version; it's fat, it's loud and it's fun. In this price bracket, there are very few Scottish single malts that can match it.

- Nose
- Muted nose before vanilla, nuts, violet and a mix of estery notes and perfumed peat smoke. Kippers.
- Palate
- A very sweet start, lemon barley water, then the smoke builds in intensity, perfumed, touch of sheepskin. Good intensity.
- Finish
- Long, smoky. Slightly hot.
- Comment
- Not surprisingly the punchiest – and the peatiest of these two.
