"Nose: starts with smoked fish, smoked argan oil, some wet fabric for sure (wool), rather more damp earth than in other PEs and then a delicate combination of apple peelings and putty. It's no big monstrous PE at all, and even the smokiness is subtle and discreet. After the minutes, it's all rather sooty and vegetal. Wood ashes, sour apples. Mouth: I'd say it's a rather gentle Port Ellen at first sips, rounded, pleasantly fudgy, with rather some oriental pastries, butterscotch, orange blossom water, and only then a mild smoky lemony side." (4 stars-Whiskyfun)

「酒香：先是煙熏魚、煙熏摩洛哥堅果油，明顯的一些濕布（羊毛），比其他聚乙烯更潮濕的泥土，然後是蘋果皮和油灰的精緻組合。這根本不是什麼可怕的聚乙烯，甚至連煙熏味都是微妙而含蓄的。幾分鐘後，都是煤煙與植物味。木灰、酸蘋果。口味：我想說，這是相當溫和的波特艾倫，一開始啜飲，圓潤，像令人愉快的軟糖，有一些東方糕點、奶油糖果、橙花水，然後只有溫和的煙熏檸檬味。」（ Whiskyfun：4星）
