Overall
Score
7.4
Nose
Rich, wooded. Like a dunnage warehouse. Molasses, Christmas cake. European oak.
Palate
Charred timbers. The spirit has a fruity weight but the wood is in charge. Too dry and tannic.
Finish
Dry.
Comment
A shame as you don't find many wholly port pipe matured whiskies, but this has lain in the cask for too long.
