Tasting: Sweet salty. Cream, almond nougat, cane sugar, spiced barley, hint of blackberry.
Finish: Long. Cayenne pepper, sea salt, honey.

Comments:

"Foggy" and "wet" mean that the whisky is highly liquid and mouth-coating; it seems to expand into vapour once it comes into contact with the heat of the mouth. Great mouthfeel. The taste isn't bad either - a good combination of sweet and savoury notes. I particularly like the tantalising hints of fruit lurking in it.

Verdict:

I like this.
