Highly aromatic, spearmint, smoke, apple sauce, bacon, char and malt nose. Assertive, peppery palate; dry and firm with a sweetness upfront; long, charred finish with a characterful bite. 4.5/5

Sampling some whisky drums with friends in Asia. This often gets the price for the most peppery and spicy Whisky, also tonight. Wild nose here, herbal, smokey, oaky. Strong palate entry with smoke and pepper building up. A masculine and distinctive bottle as always.

Brooding and masculine Aromas of bacon, smoke, pepper, nori - quite savoury Saltiness on the palate that is quite distinctive compared to the Speyside and Lowland scotches I drank alongside it Very good lenth

Smokey but not overly so, vanilla, citrus and spice nose, just a hint of saltiness to the taste, gives a pleasant rounded warming glow. Feel good whisky.

Always loved the way the brininess and smoke come together with this whisky, plus bottled at a decent 45.8%. A very good 10 year old indeed.
