| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Big on fresh wood, amidst fiery smokiness. With time thicker on dried fruits and spices, more approachable, less on harsh wood. Really quite the big malt here. Strong, intensely smoky, spices on cardemom styled spices. Gets some needed calming down with a dash of time and water. Feels young, but good. |
| Ho-cheng Yao | Brown color, very peaty, lots smoke, gun powder, heavy sherry. matured tropical fruit, raisin, mango. apple. boggy. quite robust and heavy body. |
| Krishna Nukala | Quality smoke and fruits. Rich and complex. Dark chocolate. Very dry almost like tannins. Lots of oily complexities on palate. Extremely long and spicy finish. Super whisky! (Blind tasting notes MMA 2013) |
