Excerpt: Sanaig’s finish is medium, and, well . . . not terribly memorable. The flavor tastes youngest of all whiskies so far in the round up. Surprise, surprise, it’s also NAS. Bah humbug.
Excerpt: From aroma to finish it’s layered with dark fruit, smoke and spice with everything working in unison. There’s nothing not to like about this whisky.
Excerpt: There are hints of pepper and licorice in the background that add balance to the thick, rich mouthfeel. The finish has a lingering smokiness with a hint of grilled peaches. Very nice!
Excerpt: While the sherry was noticeable in the palate, I would have liked some more. Overall, I like this a bit more than Machir and thought this was well done.

House Review
Intro:
This is a Kilchoman release that is matured in an 80/20 ratio of Oloroso wine casks and ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels. It is bottled at 46% abv without filtering or coloring and is named after one of the ricky inlets found north of Kilchomans distillery.
Nose:
Buttered popcorn, sweet sherry and stewed fruits. Honey and cream, lightly ashy.
Taste:
Ash, soap stone and stewed fruits. Campfire, burning wood. Medium mouth feel with light heat.
Finish:
Medium length, ashy and fruity. Minerality is strong here.
Overall:
While the sherry was noticeable in the palate, I would have liked some more. Overall, I like this a bit more than Machir and thought this was well done.
