A very specialized whisky - a heavy peated sherry BOMB. Most distilleries don’t bother with this combo because it is thought the two treatments don’t play well together and kind of cancel each other out. I see their point - this wouldn’t be my pick for a great peated or great sherried whisky. However, when i get the craving for that odd combo, nothing else will do. It’s confusing, but delicious. The nose is a great indicator of what you’re getting - smoke first, followed by a wave of dark, stewed fruits. The palate is the same, but with a brown sugar sweetness on the finish. Fascinating dram. — 5 days ago

Subltle, floral notes. Hints of red wine. Lightly peated. A fine dram — 8 years ago

Last glass, wouldn't buy again, it was ok but not great, plus I like them a little bit older, — 10 years ago

thank you Dave Blackmore for these beast. the name means 'dark and mysterious', the local loch, or lake where they get their water from for the distillery. ex-sherry casks and some deep balanced Palo Cortado tones with some Fino freshness. 2013 Whisky Bible Whisky of the Year. — 11 years ago
