Other reviews... [1993 edition tasted / notes indicative only] Colour: full gold (slightly paler than the 1991). Nose: we’re even closer to the regular 16. The ‘wine’ (not that it ever was winey) is more discreet and the smoke is louder. Some quinces, leather, smoked tea… And myriads of other aromas. To cut a long story short, this is lovable. Mouth: rather different from the 1991. Maybe a tad less complex but on the other hand, even bigger, peatier, probably more orangey as well, more spicy and peppery, fatter, a little grassier as well, also a little more citrusy… And saltier! Finish: loooong. Comments: less sherry influence (it’s sherry, isn’t it?) and more Lagavulin. We won’t complain. Not enough to gain one more point, though, as it loses a little complexity when compared with the 1991. 91 points - whiskyfun.com
