Comments: 

A closed distillery that is new to my experience. It may well be my only chance to taste this - it's spicy and loaded with dark fruits, and a little bit of tannin. As with other aged grains, the spicy sharpness is gone, toned down into gentle nutmeg and prunes, like an aged armagnac. Really enjoyable, and rather drinkable at this low strength.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
