The musky smoke and sweet molasses was strong. And rich body, the fruitiness with the bite was delicious. Didn’t feel the 62.4% cask strength too much. Goes down without too much trouble. But after 3 pours you feel the strength in your face. I liked it a lot more the 2nd time I tried it. The musky smoke is heavy on the nose so enjoy a mint after the dram if you are going to kiss a dame.
