85
- Nose
- Intense. An immediate hit of Dettol and hospital corridors then a switch to oyster shell freshness. The smoke drifts away in time revealing a complex fruity centre.
- Palate
- Still medicinal and briny seashore aromas above an oily softness. Great impact.
- Finish
- Phenolic, coal tar lozenge. Fantastic length.
- Comment
- Fishy yet sweet. Kipper crumble in a hospital anyone?
82
- Nose
- The memory of grazed knees (pink dettol), pickled ginger and rescue remedy. Creosoted fenceposts and a little chlorine whiff. Some earthiness and lavender, and becoming floral.
- Palate
- Creosote, coal tar and aniseed. Smoked hickory.
- Finish
- Burnt twigs after a marshmallow toasting.
- Comment
- Another good example from Mr Consistency, Caol Ila.
