Nose

Iodine, sea smoke, seaweed, very intense nose, almost no sign of sherry sweetness despite being matured in a sherry butt

Body

Peaty, grilled bacons, smoked meats, campfire, ashy With water the sweetness become more prominent, bringing out a nice smoky-sweet balance that make these older sherried Islay bottles so expensive and sought after

Finish

Long peaty finish, campfire, smoked meats, hint of citrus

Whiskyfun — Serge Valentin

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Whiskyfun describes butter, vanilla and a sweeter profile than its comparison dram. Water brings tar, camphor and eucalyptus, while the powerful palate is leafy and grassy. The long finish is salty; Serge awards 91 points after comparison.
