I should have known better. Cool attention grabbing bottle and a name dreamed up by marketing nearly always means barely average at best. This is young and thin and oaky. I would wager there is no more than 10-15% malt in the blend. On the positive side, the flavor is fairly well balanced with slightest hint of peat. I will not repurchase for there are dozens of others available of better quality at this price, and more of the same quality at a lower price.

Training and tasting of spirits at ABS (Brazilian Sommelier Association). Bottle was opened many years ago, so this whiskey has lost some of the alcohol (part of the angels), but the extract and essence remain. Notes: Amber, dried fruits, caramel, integrated wood, light smoke, medium/long persistence finish.
Very good whisky, specially for the price. Very enjoyable on the nose, with mild smoke, vanilla, chocolate, almonds and a little flower note. On the palate you get caramel, almonds, oak for a sweet flavor that change into a hot flavor. The fininsh is medium.
Notes of vainilla, licorice chocolate on the nose. Flares of almonds, toffee and peaty on the palate. Very structured long finish.
