Nose: youthful, the alcohol is very present, pretty smokey and muddy Taste: it burns a lot in my mouth and it was malty and spicy, the body was light with pepper after taste, chocalate comes up after many sips. The after taste was quite long. Not a complex dram
A very full drink … tad sharp but a great slow drink
Cinnamon spice and fruit
