Nose

Sour oakiness. Wet wood, humus. Damp warehouse. Cider cellar.

Palate

Sweet at first then very bitter. A musty flavour. A touch of strong coffee and soft spices.

Finish

Dry, astringent, spicy with a sweet nutty aftertaste.

Comment

This whisky has certainly lost its balance. You have got to like oaky whiskies. I miss the distillery character.
