These old CS handsigned Signatory bottlings are become rarer with every day that goes by. It's quite a strength at this age, but I believe the new-make held a higher strength back then. The color is golden. It smells vanilla, tarry, ashes, sooth, black pepper, salmi, iodine, peat smoke, brine, Caol Ila for what its worth. The taste is a frenzy of peat, smoke and peppery notes, highly entertaining, hardly complex. Adding water. Now it turns milder, gentle, some hints of vanilla and peat, we're hardly on Islay anymore. How strange, did the alcohol level deminishing make this whisky's total spirit deminish. The finish is quite light and short, some peppery notes and a bit of wallpaper glue.
I'm sorry, adding water totally ruined this one: 6
Next tasting: Port Ellen Distillery
