Nose

A very meaty and slightly sweet smokiness, reminds me more of an Ardbeg or even a Caol Ila rather than a Laphroaig, gets a bit salty and briny towards the end

Body

The palates is full & quite sweet actually, although it does get progressively spicier and ends on a slightly salty note

Finish

Long, dry, spicy finish, the smoke lingers

Whiskyfun

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Whiskyfun rates this undisclosed Islay 90 points. Delicate peat, wax and seashell aromas lead to lemon, apple, ash and liquorice. Water brings fresh saline balance. The finish stays fresh and approachable; the critic finds it excellent and broadly appealing.
