Comments: 

Maltbarn cask 108. This whisky is floral and fragrant, plenty sweet jammy notes, almost tropical in intensity. On the tongue, there is a surprisingly savoury cluster of flavours, even some mild smoke. This is much clearer with a bit of water added. Then it all comes together in a bittersweet finish. Good stuff.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
