Members' comments "Islay!". "I cannot find iodine to any extent, so the big medicinal flavour is missing. This whisky is most acceptable, being not as thumping as, say, Laphroaig". "Too much Infirmary taste". "Worth bottling. Beautiful fragrant Islay malt". "Pleasant. Probably the best drinking whisky from Islay". "Tjhis is a mood whisky, and is great when strength and Islay characteristics are desired". "I like Islays. This is Islay, but nicely fined down". "A good big Western Isles malt with excellent peat". "My highest malt today".
