W.A.N.K. (Gary's place, Rosebery): Cream, waxy, touches of honey, smoky with slight medicinal notes…oily and glycerol thick on the palate with smoke and sweet married rather well…perhaps a little simple? Okay

smoky nose Bonfires on the palate, feels quite young and even a bit raw, fiery, lots of smoke some sweet notes but without the richness I really like in the 16 year old Not really my sort of thing but I can see why people like it

Lower than my 90 of the last time, since it has some sharpness. F.i. next to price wise comparable one Wolfburn and two Kilchoman's, I prefered especially the Wolfburn, but all of these three did not have that sharpness.
