rottendon scored this whisky 88 points 
A very successful bottling with some "oblique" notes that give it that certain oomph. The oak is clear, but remains discreet. The alcohol could be slightly better integrated, therefore, in my view, a 90s rating is not justified.

Initially, a rubber duck swims on the alcohol, which stings something, but that is over after a few minutes. Even the clear smoke warps and becomes more phenolic. Light vanilla and a whole barrel of molasses dominate first, some clutch wear is also there. Upon heating, fruit notes and dextrose also appear. This actually increases to a compost heap in a positive sense, organic residues in a transitional state. There are also notes of freshly cut wild mushrooms and licorice.
-
Very full of brown sugar, sugar beet syrup, very dark chocolate and honey and coffee notes, but never overly sweet.
-
The finish is still dominated by the chocolate and the clutch abrasion, which lingers for a long time. In the end, the ashen-sweet smoky note will remain medium to long.
