87- Nose
- Oaky. Smoky, earthy, salty.
- Palate
- Big layered. Sooty, oily.
- Finish
- More peat. Almost abrasive.
- Comment
- Not as sophisticated as the distillery bottlings, but robustly salty, earthy and peaty. Good characteristics, but in this bottling they mask the maltiness and sherry character. I wonder whether all island whiskies once tasted like this?
Jim Murray
92- Nose
- Voluptuous and bulging at the sporran with the richest, ripest sherry you will find.
- Palate
- Enormous dexterity: despite the massive sherry start there are many layers of malt.
- Finish
- Almost endless with further honey-peat riches hanging on to the silky malt-sherry body.
- Comment
- Looking for a 30 Years Old sherry cask malt that is just about blemish free and boasting a mind boggling complexity? I've found one here...
