N: Raisin, raspberry, blackberry, chocolate (like Cadbury’s fruit and nut), sherry, sawdust, maple syrup T: Slightly thin & watery, sherry sweetness, biscuit, chocolate, mild spice, lemon F: Sweet and dry like a cranberry, and there is some spice lingering too. Rather faint and quick Nice smell. No ethanol notes. As the glass empties the chocolate notes get stronger. It is quite lovely. The initial taste was very watery, so much so that I had to check whether I had indeed added water. The finish is faint and quick, but you could look at that as a positive in that it lacks any off-putting astringent or tannic notes. I like it a lot even though there are no standout qualities that would make you sit up and say “that’s new”, or “there’s the archetypical note I have read about”. It is a straight-forward nice tasting whisky. Maybe that is the Glenburgie archetype.
