Comments:

Pretty good - like chocolate milkshake with fruit in it. I think the older expressions must be a lot better; this whisky could do with a little bit more wood. Not a bad way to end a good meal though - sometimes I just want a little alcohol and perfume in the mouth, as a great spirit sometimes distracts.

Verdict:

I like this.
