Comments:

Something of a chameleon, this whisky. Starts out sweet and floral like a Lowlands, then becomes quite fruity, with big flavours, very Highland, and ends with a little fishy twist - and that is how you know it's an Islander. Very tasty variety of fruit and sweet things in the nose and mouth.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
