Review by Elements of Islay

Nose

Sweet summer fruit, honeysuckle, grassy meadows, barley sugar and a core of rich malt.

Palate

The flavours from the nose continue on the palate, with more fruit appearing with a drop of water. Caramel sweetness builds, tempered by a sprinkling of freshly cracked black pepper.

Finish

Floral honey fades to spice and pepper.

Note

While this distillery is now known for its younger whiskies, the spirit produced before its 1995 closure shows a very different style of spirit. Unpeated and aged for more than two decades, the spirit character shines through – a perfect example of whisky from the distillery.
