Members' comments "Wild, unbalanced malt". "Thoroughly delightful, complicated, big, sharp whisky, even if somewhat raw yet. Still, I like it a lot". "Glad that I've tasted it, as my previous craving to try it disappeared". I feel that this could be a better whisky than the spirit allows it to be". "A big, gutsy, alcoholic, malty whisky, and worth having a second bottle". "Light, young, malty whisky with sweet taste and finish. Slight burnt caramel flavour. Undistinguished". "Big". "Big and flavoursome malt. Even at full strength the malt is good".
