Dram

Nose: Smoke, honey, raspberries, vanilla custard, leather, liquorice, hints of smoked bacon. 
Mouthfeel: Medium body, slippery, tingly, hot. 
Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Raspberries, leather, smoke, white chocolate, liquorice, cream, hints of tobacco leaf. 
Finish: Medium. Smoke, leather, liquorice, honey, hints of smoked bacon. 

Comments: 

Young, intense and smoky. Sherry casked, so quite sweet and fruity, but the smoke envelopes everything. Plenty of smoke bacon notes, but only on the end palate and the end nose. You’ll have to work hard to find it.

Verdict:

I like this.
