See below for a very positive review from Serge at Whisky Fun. One only to sell.

Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: this is much, much fruitier and more floral, even if there is quite some peat in the background. Starts on cherry liqueur (what we call guignolet over here) and honeyed orange juice, olive oil, these faint whiffs of drenched dogs (sorry dogs), soaked peated malt... Alas, all that dwindles a bit after a moment and leaves room for feintier and mashier notes (porridge and such, bread crumb, baker’s yeast...) Also hints of nougat and light honey as well as a little mint. Still quite great globally. Mouth: exactly the same differences as on the nose! Much fruitier and sort of straighter than the 1972, with notes of lemon drops, icing sugar, tinned pineapples, crystallised oranges and then a simpler peatiness. Hints of pu-erh tea and quite some liquorice. Very bold whisky in fact. Finish: long and candied, mainly on peat, pepper and bitter oranges, not unlike a simpler version of some old sherried Ardbegs. Very excellent again, just a bit simple. 43% Alc./Vol. 89 points - Serge Valentin, www.whiskyfun.com
