64.1% ABV
Dram

Nose: Malted grains, lemon zest, pears, white grapes, cream, peanuts, persimmons, hints of creme fraiche. With water, lemon zest, malted grains, peanuts. 
Mouthfeel: Heavy body, hot, volatile, astringent. 
Tasting:  Sour sweet. Malted grains, fresh baked bread, pears, honey, orange blossom, cream, persimmons. With water, malted grains, peanuts, pears, hints of fresh baked bread. 
Finish: Medium. Malted grains, walnut skins, lemon zest, creme fraiche. 

Comments: 

Nutty and fruity. There’s a bitterness coming through, but it’s still quite floral. The high ABV makes it heavy and oily, and a fair amount of water is needed to bring out maltiness and other cereally flavours. A great chance to drink a rare whisky.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
