3.8
Nose: Hairspray, rich toffee, stone fruit, vanilla, and damp moss. Palate: Intense flavors of burnt toffee caramel, chili peppers, clove, allspice, butter, and padron peppers. It's both buttery and savory. Finish: A lengthy finish with a buttery texture, notes of charred caramel, umami, savory pastry, treacle, and Demerara sugar. This is a robust and substantial dram. The intense caramel and charred notes are balanced by a buttery, savory mouthfeel. It's a very enjoyable dram, though perhaps best appreciated in moderation. It ranked tied for fifth place among the six whiskies tasted, receiving 0% of the votes for the evening's favorite. 35% of attendees indicated they enjoyed this whisky.
