Fruity and vanilla-driven with pear, mandarin and pollen, it turns earthier, sharper and livelier on the palate, finishing rooty, powerful and peppery.
Every time I open this it gets a little different 👌👌
A powerful, waxy whisky filled with tart fruits, salted lemon and briny mandarins, finishing long and saltier than most Clynelish.
A tart, vibrant whisky with bright citrus, floral bergamot and orange blossom, finishing with green tea, elderflower tonic and a light bitter edge.
Oily, waxy fruits lead to pineapple, honey and lemon soda, but soapy, resinous and floral notes ultimately make this a poor fit for the reviewer’s palate.

An impressive Kornog with powerful maritime peat, mineral ashes, bright stone fruits and citrus, finishing long, fruity and slightly salty.
