Very good review score, 87 out of 100
An austere, petrolic and mineral whisky with waxy cooking oils, saline coastal notes and a texture-driven character the reviewer calls excellent.

SMWS 10.1 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Bunnahabhain on Islay. Bottlings from this distillery are often known for a fuller, coastal style that can show malt richness alongside a gentler peat influence than many other Islay whiskies.
