  1. LeChiffre scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    A bottling to my liking. Full, oily, complex - without appearing superimposed. Wonderfully mature malt with exciting aromas, the waxy notes give that certain something. Reminds me a little of the many good Clynelish SC vases from the refill sherry cask. Absolutely recommendable and a very fair price at the time of issue.
