Lightly floral, slightly sweet and a touch of smoke (unpeated)... oily mouthfeel. Good dram. — 5 years ago
Peated with some hint of iodine. Dry and not really invasive with the smoky flavour. — 6 years ago
Fantastic stuff - was better than I remembered it being last year! Rich sherry tones without being overpowering. Is it really from Glenmorangie though? — 8 years ago
5th in the tasting. First of the peat. Really nicely done. Not overly peaty. FYI supposedly the 12 is as good at a better price. Craziest thing I heard? Try the Nikka 21 with sushi. Not sure how we got here and on this topic but I think it was due to the peat/no peat differences. This is one that Start said he always has for company. He also called out the Macallan 25 and Reflection (not a house whiskey obviously but there for special occasions). I noted I need to come over more often! I’m rating higher due to the hint of peat. — 4 years ago
Salted, sea tastes. — 6 years ago
Simply mind blowing. Chocolate, over ripe banana, wet tobacco and burnt sugar. — 7 years ago

Mix of sherry and bourbon casks. Great complexity with sweet and spice notes riding on a smoky peat base. But not a smoke bomb like some other Islam malts. — a year ago
