Colour: Gold, a notch lighter than the others. Nose: Even balance between peatyness and fruit. Loads of banana, pineapple and a little mango. Then iodine, old rope, hessian, tar liqueur and brine. Quite magnificent and more towards a fruitier, older style of Islay whisky. Mouth: Peat, various oils,

Nose: Soft
This part gives the purest and best quality and is known as Holanda

Finish: Long and full of tobacco
