What critics and judges wrote
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2011
Elegant, light and pretty. This amber spirit has a light, briny vanilla scent and a silky feel. A veil of smoke rises through the Scotch (but fades out fast), leaving behind a sweet nutty, vanilla finish.

The aromatic profile is assertive yet welcoming … the quintessential 12-year-old malt bouquet. In the mouth, the integrated flavors come in waves of toasted walnut, dark caramel, toasted marshmallow and barely perceptible seaweed.
Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2021
A whiff of peat and a maritime breeze of salt air, seashells, and beach bonfire embers, … Sweetness on the palate, with a dash of peat atop vanilla cream, graham cracker, milk chocolate, zesty lime, and espresso beans.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The honey'd and vanilla fragrance takes a turn on the palate replaced by grass and pineapple. A lemon twist or two comes next with the peat smoke just teasing your senses.
