“Beguiling nose of heather honey, warm cereal, cured meats, sandalwood, and sage with the faintest whisper of smoke. Orange liqueur, Maraschino cherries, and a welcome touch of peat balance out honeyed fruit and cocoa on the palate. Simply put, this is as good as it gets.” 96 Points 2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge
“A benchmark whisky, this brilliant dram offers notes of toffee, sea smoke, red apple skin, clover honey, and red grapefruit pith. The palate is a symphony of smoky, sweet spice and stone fruits before smoke and espresso bean crescendo onto a bright, luxurious finish.” 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge 97 Points
“Opening aromas are of sea breeze, cigar smoke, oak and malted barley; air contact releases light caramel, fudge, cocoa bean, burnt candle wick and heather. Entry is the most complex of any whisky; midpalate soars on oak, spirit and grain tastes. The greatest distilled spirit of this generation. Buy whatever you can find.” Wine Enthusiast 98 Points
