Dailuaine 12 Year Old Malts Cask

Nose: Toffee, mocha with a hint of hazel nut and mint Palate: Supple and semi-sweet with caramel, red berries and a nutty note. Finish: Medium length and peppery Interesting that my tasting notes corespondent closely to the notes on the bottle. Was I influenced by what was written? IDK, but I find that many times I can’t describe a particular note until after I have read another review and have an aha moment of “oh, that’s what that note is”. Anyhow, a nice whiskey, and the 56.7% abv doesn’t make itself known until later, no water needed.
