Ettersmak: Kraftig ettersmak, lang Oppsummering: En bra whisky, som minner om en gammel Islay-whisky. Jeg har smakt en noe yngere utgave tidligere, og da jeg gjettet på den tippet jeg en eldre Laphroaig, dvs en som har mistet det medisinale preget og hadde en avdempet røyk smak. Dette er en godt whisky Se forum for flere detaljer.

Rich golden	An explosion of smoke and peat, in combination with teasing hints of honey, apples and spices.	Rich peat, in perfect harmony with honey, chocolate, raisins and oakwood, followed by a cascade of spices rolling over the palate.

Pale gold	Well, in Scotland’s mainland I think only the early Broras had this typical Islay character. Smoke and peat of course but also seaweed, shells, wet stones, wet raw wool and soaked grains. Then we get a little pepper, bitter oranges, smoked tea and walnut skins. And dried kelp. Moray isn’t far from the sea, after all...	It’s on the palate that the resemblance with the Islayers from the south shore is most striking. Dry, phenolic, smoky, herbal (hawthorn tea, chlorophyll), malty, with hints of lavender honey (which hasn’t much to do with lavender as far as taste is concerned) and a very pleasant earthiness. And roots.
Ettersmak: Long, getting interestingly hotter once you swallowed it, with only the ‘peat’ remaining but for a long time. Oppsummering: This Authenticus really grew on me, sample after sample!
