Tasting Notes

Nose

Some fragrance with melon/orange. With water it smells like a lumber yard.

Palate

Thick and sweet with good concentration, a little smoke, waxiness. The wood starts to tighten becoming increasingly aggressive and tannic.

Finish

Very long and perfumed as if the whisky has finally escaped the oaky grip.

Comment

It's just too old and struggles to fight its way out of the wood.
