''Spice King''
Nose: Freshly cut apples, white pepper, orange sorbet,
blackberry jam, and cold roast lamb.
Palate: Berry fruits, dark chocolate sauce and
then a dryish harissa spice.
Comments: Unusual, and composed of many distinct elements
that mesh well together.

''Spice King''
84/100(...) ''Excellent spices very late on..''’’
(Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2007)
''Smooth Gentleman''
83/100 (...) ''the malts tuck into the tastebud with aplomb showing some sticky barley sugar along the way''
(Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2007)
''Peat Chimney''
80/100 (...) ''does have some excellent spicy/toffee moments''
(Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2007)
''Peat Chimney''
***(...) ''the peat makes its presence felt as the whisky stands in its glass. The palate immediately brings to mind the Skye malt Talisker, with its peat, earth and pepper characteristics, and there a hint of ginger too, late in the extremely lengthy finish.''
(Gavin Smith on www.whisky-pages.com)
