Amber Room Review
SMWS 116.5 'Euthymol smokers' toothpaste' Yoichi 1986 2005 18 Years Old 50,5%
04 September 2026A very complex dram that is hampered by the finish
Nose
Honestly if I had to blind this I would have thought that its a sherried Islay with a very delicate balance between sweet & smokiness, slightly floral
Body
The palate reminds me of a 1970s Ardbeg with its initial sweetness before the gentle but very obvious smokiness arrives, finished with a slightly bitter & linger aftertaste With water it becomes sweeter but also slightly more spicy towards the end, the smoke is very subtle and is concentrated more in the aftertaste
Finish
Slightly dry & spicy finish
