Not a bad whisky! You can see what is possible at a young age, if you have a good cask (or octave). But it remains the fact that even a good barrel does not make a whisky mature faster; but just better...
Time is something precious that can not be replaced, not by money, not by knowledge and even not by a good cask. You can try to get the maximum in a short time, but the short time remains! This adjusting screw remains unvariable.

So; interesting whisky, but not much more than that.

with water: it gets really good, hazelnuts, nougat, vanilla

Conclusion: delicious, especially with water, which is really good, one of the best Glassa octaves, which I had the time to try

Nose

Smoke, PX sherry, plum, dark sweetness, chocolate, some sulfur, vanilla, oak, some salt, smoked fish, great, even if the youth shines through again and again

Taste

Vanilla, smoke, quite strong alcohol, dark sweetness, subtle oak

Finish

long, vanilla, raisins, ruachig, pencil abrasion
