93- Nose
- Immediate complex phenolics: dried crab shells, rock pools, wet seaweed, Dutch salted liquorice, woodsmoke, chili, barbecued peppers and in time engine oil.
- Palate
- The oily quality coats the tongue. Not just about the smoke but a welling up of languorous, rich fruits which mix with shore, violet, laurel (bog myrtle) Ever-changing.
- Finish
- Ripe, long and complex.
- Comment
- As good a Lagavulin as I've tasted. Hie thee to Islay!

88- Nose
- Delightfully sooty, oily and salty. A steam train on a coastal railway. A touch of blackcurrant too.
- Palate
- A heady mix of sweet and full berry fruit, sooty smoke and rampant peat.
- Finish
- Full, almost creamy and with soot and fruit.
- Comment
- If you're a sucker for rich fruity peated whisky this won't disappoint you.
