Members' comments "Slightly unusual nose and flavour. Rather sour taste. Not much alcohol remaining. Predominantly an unusual malt flavour". "A lot of alcohol. Peat and malt are not distinguished. Not one of the better whiskies". "Nothing in it to recommend it. The alcohol is quite strong. I can't make out the flavour. There is not enough malt". "A very unusual nose and flavour. A smokiness of peat is the overriding feature. This is one to discuss". "A young full-flavoured, rather scented Highland whisky. Noticeable alcohol. Another blending malt".
