Comments: 

Cask 2279, a white Bordeaux wine. The resulting whisky is jammy, chockful of apricots, nuts and leather. There's a little sulphur lurking around the edges. With water, it opens up, turning chocolatey and warm, like a gentle hug. This is magnificent, I'm a little sorry I missed getting a full bottle.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
