Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Clean nose. Taste is light and mild, but smoky and bright. A very long finish, with mainly the smoke moving to the forefront... there's rough, alcohol-y patches, but not enough to turn me away. Tasting this blind, I called it as a Caol Ila. My SMWS title for this would be "Clean and Bright Yummy Smoke."

Chris

N: Buttered peat, toast, lavender.
P: Quite astringent, moderately peated.
F: A bit lacking, fades to a watery nothingness.
