Whisky Works Speyside 20 Year Old

Floral aroma. Wow, that first sip was nice. Unexpected bold, rich flavor. No peat, no smoke. There’s the usual flavors of vanilla and oak. There’s also a slight hint of cherry or even cherry-flavored tobacco, and a bit of menthol in the finish, which combine to remind me of cough syrup, but it’s very light so I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s actually a very interesting dram. 3 cl sample from The Premium Whisky Advent Calendar (2020 Edition).

Nose: herbal, chamomile maybe. Taste: complex, flowers and nutts, spicy and oily in the end. Flavor lingers, bit of rubber in the aftertaste.

Nose - Funky wet coastal shoe smell punches the nose then opens up into a hazy grain followed by a floral/saltana finish Palate - Hits the mid back of the tongue with a spice combo that I'm not familiar with. Funky almost savery caribbean coconut but more funk than anything Finish - I can only think "damp". spicy and damp. Faint sour apple
