Overall
Score
7.9
Nose
Creamy, medical peatiness, like lint bandages or plasters. There's a good sweetness behind, with lemon bonbons and sponge cake. A bit of spice.
Palate
Coal tar soap, and that vanilla creaminess is there, but cut through by a light creosote and some wood.
Finish
A little smoke, but relatively light and short.
Comment
Good young Islay, with an enticing nose.
