Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Fruity, seaweed, bay leaves, and olive oil.
- Palate
- Big bodied. Slightly sticky. Chewy. Edible seaweed. Parsley.
- Finish
- Hugely salty and equally peppery.
- Comment
- Pungent, powerful and appetising. A dram for the Islay-lover and connoisseur. This distillery should be revived.
Jim Murray
95- Nose
- Almost kippery in its style of smokiness. Beguiling!!
- Palate
- The sweet coating of malt is defenceless against the pulsing peat.
- Finish
- Magnificently long. The balance is exemplary with the oak confined to bitter chocolate amid the intensifying malt.
- Comment
- This is whisky for the true connoisseur; exactly how a great old Islay should be. But why, oh why, did this distillery have to die?
