Tasting Notes
"Right off the bat, this whisky packs a wallop! Chocolate and rich black earth are the first aromas out of the gate, followed quickly by tanned leather book-covers and a slightly gamey note. Upon sipping this monster of a dram, the bitter chocolate and roasted game notes co-mingle, almost reminiscent of grilled meat with a mole sauce. Spicy chili pepper and a malty sweetness complete the ensemble. The finish is of medium length and the sweet malt is tamed by a bitter chocolate note. Wow. A challenging dram, not for the faint of heart, but well worth seeking out! "
