Aroma:	Dichter Torf-Rauch lässt einen wissen, dass man es mit einem ernsthaften Islay Single Malt zu tun hat. Dann ein fruchtigeres, cremigeres Gefühl - weiche, reiche Eiche, beruhigender Pudding und Vanille. Aber mach es dir nicht zu bequem - das ist erst der Anfang.
Geschmack:	Ölig, schwarzer Rauch mit einem reichen, schweren, torfigen Gefühl im Mund. Dann kommt ein süßer, klebriger Geschmack von gegrillter Banane (ja, wirklich), spritzigen Sultaninen und Trockenfrüchten.
Abgang:	Torfig, genau wie man es gehofft/befürchtet hat. Dieses Mal hat er eine authentische spanische Sherry-Eiche mitgebracht, angenehm und beunruhigend süß. Und eine letzte scharfe, salzige Erinnerung daran, dass man es hier nicht mit dem Gewöhnlichen Dram zu tun hat.
