A very good fruity malt, full of lemons, yellow plums, barley syrup and quince, though not especially distinctive and lacking much Chichibuness.

An explosive, extreme whisky: bitter, acidic and ultra-vegetal, with walnut skins, chilli, leather, green pepper and a very long, vinegary finish.

A perfect combination of lime, mint, fir buds and eucalyptus syrup, finishing with barley, earth and wax; grand as an old Scottish malt from the 1960s.
