There is an unusual amount of spices in this sherried malt, the fruit is almost in the background. It is quite dry but still pleasant on the palate. – Rating: 85/100

This whisky is pure delight. Who said that sherry and peat doesn’t work? – Rating: 92/100

The maturity of this barely legal whisky is amazing. Don’t hesitate to add water, it swims well. – Rating: 85/100

It has a lovely nose, but palate and finish are disappointing, a rather anticlimactic dram. – Rating: 76/100

Nose and palate have a very nice fruity freshness, but overall the spices are a bit too strong here.- Rating: 83/100

The fruity nose does not really indicate the strong spices that will hit your palate. You have been warned. – Rating: 84/100

Especially with water, this malt is very complex, the mix of spicy, herbal and light floral notes is intriguing. – Rating: 86/100

Very floral, but in a good way. There is a minimal soapiness to it but it is too faint to call it a flaw. Quite unusual. – Rating: 84/100

Strong wood spices join sweet fruit in this malt from a lesser known distillery. Very nice but sip with caution. – Rating: 85/100

Be prepared for a strong spice punch when tasting this whisky. Fortunately the other flavours are bold enough not to get lost. – Rating: 86/100
