Comment: Big and interesting, but seems to be all on the nose.
Score: 7.3
Taster
Nose: Acetone, fresh pine resin, redcurrants and slightly fermenting strawberries,\rcoupled with some mineral notes and hot slate.
Palate: Burnt chocolate, orange zest, some woody spice and a slight creaminess\ron the back palate.
Finish: The zest sticks to the palate and steadfastly refuses to let go.
Comment: This has some characterful notes, but not enough to raise it into the echelons of other whiskies of comparable age.
Score: 7.9
