alectron gave this whisky 88 points

Color

Gin clear

Nose

First of: musty, vanilla soap, fermenting fruit, earthy, mushrooms, solvent, lenoleum. (83)
Later: much sweeter, liquor like even, hardly artificial now, vanilla pipe tobacco instead of soap, red grapes, fructose, wine gums, a tad metallic, herbal notes, occasionally a very nice red gardenfruit note in the background as well. (88)

Taste

dried & fermenting fruits, malty, sweet sherry, fructose, ink and a nice herbal-ness again. (88)

Finish

more malt & tannins now, dried plums, sunflower seeds, (strawberry flavoured) fructose. Quite minty in aftertaste as well as dried fruits, chocolate and a sprinkle of plastic linger around for a long time. (91)

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...
