- Nose
- Spirity. Alcohol tickles nostrils, a creamy custardy sweetness in the back with a fruity sourness. Peat is hardly discernable.
- Palate
- Sweet and sour. Smooth too. Peat and smoke have been melted into a fruit basket. An earthy touch.
- Finish
- Dry, peppery. Not smoked nor peated.
- Comment
- An almost unpeated version of Bowmore? A (too) perfect integration of peat in wood? Unusual.

- Nose
- Salty and vibrant with a spicy nature. Hint of salted anchovy, creamy malt, mint chocolate, orange Club biscuits. What smoke there is suggests bitumen and dried lavender.
- Palate
- Orange crates, sweet yet tart. A wisp of subtle smoke hits mid-palate. Still a marine freshness into salt offseting the sweetness.
- Finish
- Dry, oak.
- Comment
- An old lady, but a feisty old lady. The smoke is a memory.
