Nose

Vaguely musty but enlivened by sultanas.

Palate

Early sweet malt and then a rush of some rather hot, uncontrolled spices.

Finish

Absolute beauty at last as the maltiness has settled.

Comment

A surprisingly eclectic and unwielding style of Cooley single malt (as opposed to pure pot still as it says on the label) that lacks charm and balance in the earliest moments. Ultimately disappointing.
