hs305 scored this whisky 88 points

In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored this 87,5. My notes state a pale blonde colour and big legs as well as big tears (oily texture at the glass). The nose offers just minor peaty notes but surprisingly banana and lemon aromas and some vanilla. The mouthfeel is pleasant and tongue-coating. The taste again shows just minor peaty flavours (for an Ardbeg). The finish is well-balanced and of medium length. A delicious dram...
