75
- Nose
- Sooty. Treacle toffee.
- Palate
- Peaty, earthy, cedary. Charcoal.
- Finish
- Robust. Sharp. Hot.
- Comment
- Some of the classic Islay elements are there, but discordant. Not well rounded.
72
- Nose
- Sweet, poached pear with a nutty malt at back. Coconut and vanilla. In time sage perfume which with water becomes more oily and lavender like.
- Palate
- Very perfumed. Has become essence like. The overt lavender is calmed with water, making it sweet and lightly smoky once more.
- Finish
- Smoke.
- Comment
- A good spirit dented by that essential oil quality.
