This whiskey is almost orange in colour. Some berries and sherry on the nose. The palate is orange zest, cardamum — then as it warms, sweet apple crisp. The finish is spicy with more cinnamon and cardamom and pepper. The high proof gives this whiskey a luxurious mouth feel and a taciturn character which is fun. Add a bit of water to bring out more berry fruits on the nose and tart apples on the palate with some milks chocolate on the finish. I enjoy a rich dram and I appreciate the ways in which this whiskey presents is many characteristics. It changes as you enjoy it. Black Bottle is always a great bargain and has surprisingly good quality.

Wet hay in a smokey barnyard on the nose. The palate is a smoked salted lemon slice that gives way to a finish which is smooth sweet smoked brisket. It’s okay. Whiskies which have hay and medicinal properties put me off a bit. But I was in the mood for something smokey and this doesn’t disappoint there.
