A superb whisky! A vanilla cake nose with some honey notes. Spicy taste at first, but the vanilla, honey and cocoa creates a tasty experience. The finish with dark red whine tanins, and also some honey, cocoa.

Very light in color. Aroma is very floral. Taste is also floral with a touch of honey. Finish turns slightly bitter and oaky. A touch of water helps warm it up a bit. Very pleasant.
I liked this slightly more than the 18 and the abv at 46 worked well with the over all expression
Malty cereal aroma, spices and cereals with heat in the taste, slightly dry and short finish.
An all time fave. Loads of flavour from I’m assuming 1st fill bourbon casks.
Saline and nuttiness with wood spice. Warming finish.
