Taster

Nose: Sweet and savoury. Bitter chocolate mixed with nuts and raisin. Light coffee notes. Slightly burnt. Has weight and style. Rewarding and complex.

Palate: Big and resinous. Good balance struck between sweetness and structure. Its apparentage is exposed by water which shatters it,so don't dilute!

Finish: Long and drying.

Comment: A big whisky.

Score: 8.2
