The best Brackla I have tasted. Night-cap?

Nose
Rich, sweet wood-derived aromas of coconut flesh, cumin, Old English marmalade. Palate
Immediate woodiness at the side of the mouth. There’s a lovely rose petal/raspberry coulis fragrance and massive spiciness. Finish
Soft then a bit woody. Comment
Big and aromatic. There’s bags of oaky character and not a lot of the distillery’s. One to sip and ponder over.
