Our characteristic bottle is emerald green with the helmsman emblazoned within a golden porthole on the front. It comes complete with a booklet and a black gift tube that the bottle fits snugly into. The nose offers a fresh and aromatic experience with a subtle whiff of smoke floating through the air. The taste starts with a light fruit and nut appeal that leads to a spectacular malty sweetness, finishing into a beautifully rich full-bodied, lingering experience.
Color: Light, Amber
Nose: Orange, Butter and Sea Air along with the smell of a Campfire on the Beach.
Body: Full Bodied Syrupy.
Palate: Peat a Little Smoke, Buttery and a little sweet. This whisky has a slight bite to it, nothing Hot, just a slight bite.
Finish: Nice Finish, Just long enough, Good Whisky Feel and a little Spice Licorice Maybe
This Whisky was good, But not a real Bell Ringer. As far as Islay Whiskys are concerned it's right in there but it's a little to Sweet and Toffee tasting for me. Lips feel sticky at the Finish.
Color: White wine
Nose: Light and breezy, sea air, yoghurt and orange syrup. Baking flour and vanilla. Balsamic vinegar. Fruity and salty/sour.
Body: Nutty/oily. Chewy
Palate: Smooth and very pleasant. Feels great in the mouth. Sweet creaminess. Sour cream on a bagel. Turns bitter, like orange juice after brushing teeth, and slightly peaty showing off its Islay ruggedness.
Finish: Oaky, creamy, and slighly salty finish. Doesn't linger.
A 10pm go-to dram for many people. Often found on optic in Scotland pubs as malt-of-the-month.
