Region:

Speyside

ABV:

46%

Review:

Powerful nose of iodine, peat and paint thinner, becomes muted with a drop of water. Pale yellow colour, with medium body. Medicine-y at first bite, but with water focuses the flavours down to a rich cough syrup and heavy phenolic flavour.

Rating:

6.5 / 10

Colour:

Fino Sherry

This sounds like a genuinely good malt. I've added this one to my wish-list.
