Overall
Score
8.8
Nose
A combination of baked pear and pineapple fruitiness, with old and complex phenols rumbling beneath. More apparent with water, with tinned fish and some smoked meat. Lemon biscuits.
Palate
Fruit syrup, raisins and a little sulphur. Phenolic too, with dentist's mouthwash and a little of that canned brine. Some dry oak.
Finish
Salty and drying.
Comment
Confidentially and quietly smoky, this is a lovely example of this elegant old Islay.
