Gavin D.Smith
86- Nose
- A big hit of Islay. Salt, seaweed and Germolene. Also a newly-opened cigarette packet.
- Palate
- Sweet, fruity, developing wood smoke, spice, mixed herbs and bonfire embers. Carbolic soap.
- Finish
- Citrus fruit, sweet peat, pepper and medicine chests.
- Comment
- A complex yet approachable Islay.
Rob Allanson
88- Nose
- Coal tar soap, buttered kippers, sea salt caramel and a hit of something medicinal: opening a plaster.
- Palate
- You get hit with a sweet, honey and fruity wave first, then the smoke comes, then spices build before the smoke returns.
- Finish
- Sooty and a little sweet.
- Comment
- Excellent stuff, another outdoor dram for sure.
