Archer scored this whisky 89 points 
After increasing the volume percentages of 57.7 over 58.6 to 59.9 in the batches B1 / 11-B1 / 13, it is now in the other direction since batch B1 / 14. We have now arrived at 57.4%. Still, this is a great representative of the single pot still whiskeys: full, fruity, spicy, classic pot still. Only in the departure of this batch is my opinion a bit weaker (because shorter) than its predecessors.
-
A full, voluminous nose with dark fruits, sultanas and figs. Brown sugar covers the fruits. Next to it a strong leather note. After a while, the fruit fades into the background and pepper and nutmeg, mixed with the leather, take the lead. This spicy nose stays "stable" for a very long time, nothing flattens out.
-
Very full and creamy onset, which, although undiluted, does not burn, but only pleasantly warms. Sherrynoten next to fine bitter chocolate, oak is surprisingly easy to taste. Spicy: White pepper, mild liquorice. Almonds. Fresh pipe tobacco. It gets a bit thin at the back.
-
Medium long, getting dry. Finished with sherry and berries, oak.
