To me this tastes like a sweet Caol Ila. It is very ashy on the aftertaste, but the sweetness livens it up.
Came joint second out of the six whiskies, with 17% of the final vote for favourite of the night (4 votes), however this is possibly because there was an absolute standout dram at the tasting which was the runaway winner of the night. 87% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky (20 votes).
