Taster

Nose: Woody. Damp cellar. Mossy. Like entering a cellar which has been locked for years.

Palate: Again, that oak grip. Bitter chocolate. Dry oak. Hint of dried fruits. Fig, treacle.

Finish: Grippy, spicy and dry.

Comment: Another oak and oak only whisky. I must have an oak-(over)sensitive palate!

Score: 7.2

Taster

Nose: Serious amounts of tomato stalk here. Dunnage warehousing, sweet and dank.

Palate: Almost dark treacle dominated with that bitter tomato oakiness.

Finish: Dries swiftly leaving the oak grip.

Comment: Another big wooded winter whisky. Perfect for late nights.

Score: 7.9
