Even the nose promises what awaits you: smoke and sweetness in abundance. Dark fruits but also strong alcohol. Ingenious taste - a great mix of smoke and a heavy sweetness of the wine. Again the dark fruits and some caramel. Then on the palate a bit spicy. The aromas remain in the mouth and throat for a long time. With water, the nose becomes a little sharper, but the taste is softer. But also the flavors become flatter. I love this malt. In spite of the strength for mch in any case without water most fragrant.
