HammerHead scored this whisky 87 points 
The nose is impressive, but initially this tastes way too dry for me (too much wood influence). After a few drams and some weeks time it mellows out a bit. I still believe though, this should have been bottled a few years earlier.

Nice one, honey, grapefruit, bitter oranges, peach, unripe pears, vanilla, pencil shavings, walnuts, spices like clove and nutmeg.

Initially tastes quite fruity with bitter oranges and honey notes. Turns into a peppery woodheavy taste with a lot of bitter oak.
Moving through the bottle this excessive oakiness resides somewhat to the background, but it remains noticable. -
Fairly long: some dried fruitiness and the same bitter wood spices as observed in taste, albeit somewhat tuned down. Extra time gives the finish some more warming honey notes.
