Less fragrant but more spicy than cask 130...01, more like the typical grain I suppose. Therefore less impressive to me. 87/88.

Nose

Glue, citrus, orange, pepper, cherry, caramel. With some water the glue is gone; more apple.

Taste

Glue, citrus, orange, pepper, cherry, caramel and orange. With water some yellow raisin.

Finish

Cherry, caramel, lemon, spice and tobacco.

Quite an interesting whisky. Needs a lot of time, but does reward your patience. Very balanced, although it does mis the wow-factor for me.

Nose

Needs a lot of time to open up. Lots of glue with some fresher notes of green apples as well. Plenty of coconut, as well as varnish and fresh wood shavings. Touch of cough syrup.

Taste

Sweet oranges and mandarines with hints of glue. Some grapefruit as well. Quite fruity this one. Some creamy oak and sweet vanilla. Crème brûlée.

Finish

Sweet fruits. Honey. Medium in length.
