Raided Score: 82Whisky Advocate By John Hansell Not as creamy as the standard expression, but a bit more sophisticated. Read Full Review Raided Score: 83WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie innamon dominates the mouthfeel, fading to a nice mix of pineapple and mint on the finish. Complex and interesting. Read Full Review Raided Score: 85Whiskyfun By Serge I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that this was an Amrut, and had to try it thrice, only to get always the same impressions and ratings.

The finish is generous with buttery caramel and honeyed barley.

Read Full Review Raided Score: 85The Daily Pour By t8ke Reminds me of an Ardbeg but it’s not smoky enough.
