Reviewed December 2, 2020 (edited February 5, 2021)Nose: Beautiful and complex notes. Oranges peel, citrus and mint (the box claims it is eucalyptus), and clear oak and sherry influence. I noticed also the lack of sulphur (a positive in my book, even if I like Mortlach too). In mouth: very oily and creamy. Even despite the high ABV the alcohol is not aggressive. Lots of orange peel, spice and dark fruits. Finish: medium to long (but not too long) where the spices give way to a minty and fresh note that expands and growths in your palate. -

Reviewed October 13, 2020 (edited August 20, 2021)Muscular whisky. The abv is almost overwhelming and it takes water well. The nose is dark chocolate and espresso with maybe some dark fruit. The taste is all dark chocolate and maybe some coffee, water just makes it more so. I like it. The finish is more dark chocolate and maybe a little bitter oak but not too much. Billy Walker is brilliant. I am just getting to know this whisky and look forward to exploring our relationship over the next year. I think we will be good friends. -

Reviewed June 4, 2020 (edited July 20, 2021)The alcohol does not sting at all at the nose, letting the warm and fruity aromas flow, which are influenced by both Bourbon and Sherry: vanilla, caramel, ripe figs, dates, red fruits, candied orange, butter cookies, cinnamon. Very rich, with the wood as a background which tends to grow over time becoming drier, while the aromas turn to buttery with a hint of acidity. On the palate the gradation becomes pungent and spicy, combining cloves and rhubarb with cinnamon, with an acidity more present at the limits of the invasive, along with red fruits, chocolate, licorice, hazelnuts, orange and lemon tip. Full-bodied and oily, with the wood always present and rough, with a bit of bitterness more and more pressing. The finish is quite long, dry, of wood, cloves, orange, lemon, licorice. Alcoholic content not very centered, the wood clears up too much, disrupting the aromas that lose on the palate the amalgam initially perceived on the nose, with the bitterness that tends to eat the pleasantness of the flavors. -
