Gavin Smith
90- Nose
- Big, with Lapsang Souchon and newly-tarred roads.
- Palate
- Warming and full, with lots of peat smoke and wet seaweed.
- Finish
- Dominant peat lingers all the way.
- Comment
- Complex, sophisticated heavyweight. The one they all have to beat.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Pungent, complex. Smoked eel, coal tar, applewood, smoked cheese, bitumen. Frisky.
- Palate
- Intensely peaty. Rounded with big kick: marine character, fragrant smoke, touch of black pepper, but balanced by sufficient sweetness.
- Finish
- Smoke belch.
- Comment
- Excellent. Lagavulin isn't as peaty as it used to be? Pull the other one.
