Comments This whisky was imported into Australia, in cask, by the Australian Wine Society for sale to its members. It is a vatted malt.
Members' comments "I liked it in spite of the slight harshness", "All right, but rough and harsh", "Probably the most inferior malt yet tasted, but still drinkable", "Overpowering and poorly balanced", "Poor. Dominated by a strong, soapy, oily flavour", "Alcohol overpowers other flavours. I detect grain. Not pleasant", "Will not buy", "Undistinctive in flavour. Unpleasant persistent alcohol burn. Probably adversely affected by Australian water", "An unexciting malt which could be rated as one of the least satisfactory malts we have tasted".
