Lowland41188Nice, complex, subtle nose: fruity (orange flavoured candy), grassy and slightly peaty; fresh, fruity palate with more of that orange candy, also fairly spicy; all in all light, balanced and very nice

Speyside40087Fresh, fruity, slightly sour nose, like white wine (Riesling). Notes of green fruits and oak. Very nice! Fruity, oaky, peppery palate. A little too oaky and peppery, in fact but it gets milder and nicer with a drop of water. With water it's sweet, fruity and more-ish. Oaky, peppery, rather nice finish. A lovely apéritif!
Caol Ila (B) 60.8%Pic1995

Islay58087Nice fruity and peaty nose; the palate is at first light, sweet and fruity, then develops quite a bit of peat, with thick wood smoke in the finish; very nice!

N Highland52087Very nice nose with notes of cream, coconut and custard, also a little oak. Sweet, malty palate. Rum-like with a note of arrack. Oaky and fairly peppery finish, also slightly peaty.

Campb.61 86Fruity nose with notes of vanilla, orange and clementine but there's also a slightly chemical note (a bit like Armagnac); sweet palate with very nice fruity notes and a hint of mint; slightly smoky finish

Mull
62086Nice nose with notes of peat, citrus and malt. Sweet, more-ish palate with malt and honey. Also slightly peaty and slightly minty. Malty, spicy, peppery finish. All in all nice and entertaining yet a little rough.

Speyside61 85Fresh, fruity, slightly flowery nose with apples, pears and orange candy; sweet, mild, balanced palate with a note of honey - nice but a bit "simple" after the complex nose; slightly spicy, smoky (but disappointing) finish

Islay55 84Complex, intriguing nose with peat, coal, tar and light citrus notes and a hint of violets on top; peaty, fairly flowery palate with violets/lavender; all in all quite nice but a little too flowery
Linkwood (B) 46%Pic1993

Speyside60082The nose is fruity (citrus candy) and oaky with a strange note of pickled cucumber. Rich, fruity, quite oaky palate. Drying. Dry, oaky, dull finish. Disappointing.
