Mina kommentarer:
Den bästa standardutgåvan som finns? Mycket rök och mycket smak. På det hela taget en superb whisky. Ett tips: Drick den till nybakade kanelbullar. MUMS!

Nose: Starts off rather light and sweet, followed by smoke and brine. Salt & ammoniac. More iodine than peat.
Taste: Well balanced. Nice and sweet at first, with a long salty Ardbeg bang in the middle and a satisfying finish.
Nose: Exceptional balance and depth. At full strength the aroma is a beguiling mix of toffee and chocolate sweetness, cinnamon spice and medicinal phenols. Fresh citrus and floral notes of white wine are evident as are melon, pear drops, general creaminess, fresh phenolic aroma os seaspray (iodine) and smoked fish. Hickory and coffe emerge later as the most volatile top notes fade.
Taste: An initial moderate and clean sweetness is rapidly followed by a mouthful of deep peat notes, with tobacco smoke and strong espresso coffee, which gives way to treacle sweetness and liquorice. The mouth feel is firstly lightly spiced (astringent), the chewing, mouthwatering, full and finally dry.
Finish: Long and smoky. A smoky sweetness is left on the palate, with a crushed peat and sweet malted cereal character.
