  1. RJKrueger scored this whisky 87 points Expert Senior

    A malt that can compete with any Islay malt. What do you do when you think it's good and are convinced of the quality and yet it's not so 100% on my wavelength. I think I rated it fairly anyway. But there are others in front of him on my purchase list.
    • Nose
      87 87
      Ashy smoke and a bit of sweetness, the alcohol comes across as a bit too dominant. With a good drop of water it can be tamed without reducing the smoky note even a bit. Leather, tobacco and the sweetness penetrate a little more with water.
    • Taste
      88 88
      There is a lot of bang on the palate and here, too, you can tame it a little with water. The ashy smoke remains, but sweet notes of honey and light fruits show up. Sherry is there, but not dominant.
    • Finish
      85 85
      Clearly the finish is long and with more pronounced wood notes and cold ash. A little sherry can still be heard in the background.
