  1. JoshNRW scored this whisky 91 points Connoisseur

    It takes a lot of time because the cold, pear-heavy bacon smoke dominates at the beginning. I couldn't decide if this is Lagavulin or Caol Ila. With a lot of service life, I find it wonderfully harmonious, round, but not quite as full of character as the KK, the Seagull or the Ardbeg from Pit. I think this one is almost the tastiest.

      At the beginning mainly bacon smoke in plum sauce. After 40 minutes in which I dealt with two other whiskys, I now find a very nicely set sherry malt with subtle Islay aromas. Cold smoke, burnt wood and a beautiful harmony, all flavors go together beautifully if you give them the right amount of time.
    • Taste
      90 90
      Here significantly milder than the later bottlings from the RW&W, but of course a little less character and development than the later bottlings.
    • Finish
      92 92
      Nice clean mouthfeel with no off notes, no spiciness or bitterness whatsoever. The finish is medium to almost long, but this one doesn't have any dominant bitter aromas at the end.
