Official bottling
Single malt - Islands (Skye)
Golden
45.8% ABV
Dram

Nose: Peat, white pepper, sherry, toffee, butter fudge, hint of smoked meat.
Mouthfeel: Heavy body, smooth, thick, luscious.
Tasting: Salty bitter. White pepper, cayenne pepper, peaches, cream, butterscotch.
Finish: Medium. Sour cream, peat, walnut skin.

Comments:

Starts out the same as its older cousin, with the meaty, peaty, sweet notes. But it then gets more bitter and more salty, with lots of pepper. Can't say I prefer the 18 yo to this - it's more interesting than pleasurable. Great mouthfeel though.

Verdict:

I like this.
