Reviewed May 5, 2018 (edited March 13, 2021)Aha this I like. The sample I had of Phenomenonly wasn't in balance this however definitely is. Nearly 3% abv higher but the alcohol balances nicely with the flavour without a drop of water being added. Now this isn't the type of Islay I usually go for as I like a richer more viscous spirit e.g. Talisker, Laphroaig. I thought what does this remind me of..ah yeah Ardbeg and then saw GPs note and was like yeah nailed it :-). Lovely vanilla balance with the peat. I like the Revs 'olive brisket' comment. Haven't heard that one before but it nails it. Water gave it a broader rounder flavour but also weakened some components. Now score... its much better value than Phen but at $120 USD I could get a Cory and a Uggie which I'd rate similar. 4.25 to 4.5 I'll give it. -
