(Lot 60135, bottled 15.01.2015) Tasted 6 April 2016. Appearance: Light amber / light tea colour. Nose: Not very pungent, rounded, butter caramel (but still rather dry), wood, spices, some fruitcake. Even just a few drops of water seem to literally water down the nose of this whisky. Taste: Fruity, a bit spicy, initially quite dry. Fruitcake, wood tannins. Not very complex. Sweetness arriving in the finish, which is long. With a few drops of water it retains and even increases its wood spiciness and the finish seems less sweet. Overall: Nose and finish are its best features. Add no (or very, very little) water to this one. Overpriced.

Strong flavor straight. Adding water definitely improves it, making it very smooth. Excellent with water added.
