| Comments | This bottle was a sample bottle sent to The Gillies Club by Stanley P.Morrison's for appraisal prior to a possible order of a cask. A cask was subsequently ordered, and the opinion of members was that it was vastly superior to the sample. |
| Members' comments | "Enjoyable! Enjoyable! Not quite up to 17 year old Bowmore, though". "Lacks harmony". Pleasant and strong, though sharp". "Good, robust whisky". "The seatangle is omnipresent - a superb, man's Islay malt". "Pleasant once alcohol disappears as a dominating influence". "although strong in peat and sweet, it is lasting. Beautiful!" "Splendid Islay malt of high proof. As good as 17 year old Bowmore, but without the typical Bowmore nutty flavour". "Big Islay taste". |
