Finish: Short. Camphor, candle wax, hay, gooseberries, applesauce, hints of cocoa nibs.
Comments:
Creamy and herbal, and water brings out a lot of fruit. It’s got a bitterness on the tongue that is almost mouth puckering. It’s layered and complex though, with clear delineation between flavours. Very good whisky.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
