Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

A familiar Islay nose with white wine. Sweet pleasing smoke, just a classic smoke flavor. Until the finish, which is above average -- and that finish is like pure camp-out campfire smoke. And long. A sweet and easy whisky. B

Retaste: Kind of a one-dimensional, almost-highly-peated whisky. Good mild sweetness. B-

Bob

Nose is leathery and smoky. Taste is burnt sharpness -- it doesn't last, but is smooth. Finish of cigar smoke... this whole whisky is very cigar-like.

Chris

Nose of peat and lemons. The palate is freakin' peaty! Finish smoky, long, and a bit hot.

Astringent alcohol on the nose with a bit of pear. Smoke is coming. A slight mouthful, not much character, and then a heavy medicinal finish. But not bad!

Rob

Woody. Fiery finish, but smooth going down. Not so classy, but occasionally has its moments.

Medicinal notse, but not overpowering. Mellow start. Silky-smooth then a bit harsh. Bright, pure smoke. A three-minute, great finish. B+/A-

Andy

Nose like a fresh mountain breeze. Traditional Islay taste. Well balanced, but there is little more than that.

Mild upfront with a sharp tinge of peat towards the end. Finish is medicinal.
