    It's a golden peaty monster of a whisky. Smoky, rich and entirely glorious. Stop reading this and go and buy a bottle.

    A hum-dinger of whisky, not for the faint hearted! You can almost taste the sea air, this whisky is as rugged as it is smooth. A great everyday drink, but perfect on a cold day.

    A weathered old Scotsman once described this whisky to me as a "bit of a lady's drink". All I can say is its a smooth as you like! Damn fine tipple for a lady's man.

    Purely from an aesthetic point of view this is my favourite whisky. I love the design on the tin. How fickle! The whisky ain't bad either though.

    don'tn't know too much about whisky. This was given to me as a present. People seem to love it but I'm not mad on it. Too acidic. I think it must have been very well marketed because everyone knows… read more
