| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Instantly a nice somewhat berryish vanilla, followed by a dry sour-smoke a la classic Islay. Needs some time to open up from being a little edgy. Leather also with time. Tastewise a bit airy, very easy to drink. Very pure simple excellently mixed smokiness with a malty sweetness. Hints of tar. The vanilla comes at the end. Nice nice nice. |
