Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A thick coating of peat isn't enough to cover a soft, oaky background. Iodine appears alongside a pear-fruity sweetness. Delicate for a whisky so big.

Palate: Continuous gentle waves of dry peat lap upon the tastebuds but are balanced by a sweet malt middle and the most hesitant of vanillas.

Finish: Long and peaty, the shy vanilla now begins to show as the oak adds a certain dryness.

Comment: A gentle giant.

Score: 9

Taster

Nose: Phenolic, seaweedy, with a hint of estery, melony, sweetness.

Palate: Seaweedy, salty, oily.

Finish: Round, dry, iodine-like.

Comment: The most medicinal of Islay malts. I love it.

Score: 8.5
