Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Very appetising. Fresh sea air. Salty. Seaweed on the rocks. Fragrant, smoky.
- Palate
- Oily, tarry, chewy. Very spicy indeed. Stinging flavours. Lots of flavour development. Grassiness. Gorse. Flowering currant. Sweet mustard.
- Finish
- Pepper. Hot mustard. Grainy. Cumin.
- Comment
- A lovely coastal malt. It's a shame that its surviving brother Clynelish is more muted.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- Bracing and intense. Sea-spray and sawdust and the lightest of smoke. Marvellously evocative and appealing.
- Palate
- Fat, massively bodied with powerful peat that was missing on the nose. The saltiness seeps through and the malts remains clean and chewy.
- Finish
- Intense vanilla and then drier oaky tones battle against the lingering sweet peat.
- Comment
- What a fabulous whisky of extraordinary complexity and wonderful balance. Masterful.
