Taster
Nose: Dark and chewy. Chocolate cherries. Turkish coffee, sweet spices, maple syrup, pine.
Palate: Sweet and fragrant. weight of wood and sweet spirit. Sweet and balanced. A big whiskey.
Finish: Long, syrupy.
Comment: In a battle between grippy oak and the powerful sweet spirit the latter wins - just. One ice cube is enough. Great for its age.
Score: 8.5
