72- Nose
- Salty, rooty, seaweed.
- Palate
- Salty. Grainy. Some wood-pulp, sulphury, notes.
- Finish
- New mown hay. Sweetness. Slight peatiness, saltiness.
- Comment
- I am not sure about that sulphur. Is it from the cask, or is it seaweedy? I usually like seaweed, but am not convinced by this bottling.
Doug McIvor

- Comment
