Other reviews... [circa 1988 bottling] So, here’s one of first batches of the 16yo. Colour: full amber. Nose: this one starts fruitier and even more expressive, with also added waxy notes (paraffin). It’s also got something superbly vegetal (fern, moss, wild mushrooms…) as well as hints of lamp oil, linseed oil, old pu-erh tea… And then we have that eucalyptus, white pepper, shells, kelp… We’re closer to the old 12 yo white label now, which means it’s just fabulous whisky. Mouth: a magnificent attack on all sorts of wax, smoked tea, refined peat, liquorice roots and hints of ginger. What a great compactness! Goes on with orange marmalade, black pepper, dried kumquats, hints of curry, horseradish… Superbly sharp and mouthfilling at the same time. The finish is long, spicy, peaty and on all sorts of dried fruits. A star. 93 points - whiskyfun.com
