Comments: 

Cask 8847-8850. Rich and fruity, and tasting of great age, this whisky is quite classic on the nose and the tongue. There’s a very woody finish, which somehow tastes of buttered popcorn and chocolate. A splash of water is essential. Strange, but delicious. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
