Appearance

Deep mahogany

Nose

Caramel, raisins, molasses, fruit leather, marzipan, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and almond, old wood, leather

Palate

Very powerful, meaty and coffee-like texture, very long lasting. Surprisingly easy-drinking despite high ABV. Full-bodied, tight texture, rich.

Finish

Extraordinarily long, waves of caramel, leather, and roasted nuts

Pairing Notes

Best enjoyed after dinner in a balloon cognac glass with a few drops of warm water

Verdict

A peak in whisky. World Whiskies Awards 'Best of the Rest World'. Meaty, coffee-like texture with extraordinary length. Best enjoyed after dinner with a few drops of warm water.
