A very divisive whisky. There are people that will rate it very high or very low, depending what motivates them. It is not bad, nor is it exceptional. Clearly quite old. Trending towards cognac, but more leather. Leather, dates, prunes, baking chocolate, bitter chocolate orange, drying and quite tannic. Feels weak and underpowered, which I would say is the biggest drawback.
