Comments: 

Cask 3886, matured in Malmsey Madeira casks. It's sweet, mouth coating and unctuous, full of red fruits and spicy Christmassy notes as you'd expect, but there's also something meaty and more-ish here. It's lovely whisky, really sweet and intense, but not overwhelmingly so.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
