Year Sampled: 2009
About: The distillery is on Orkney island, off the north shore of the mainland.
Color: Med/light with hint of orange.
Nose: Excellent! Elusive; makes you want to keep smelling. Hint of almond, mildew.
Palate: Thick, full.
Finish: Salt, peat, coffee, clove.
Overall: Surprisingly good, considering I find the 12 year unimpressive. Maybe the confusing name plays a factor here, but this tastes like a highland Scotch. This is Recommended.
