I am a fond fan of lovely looking labels from independent bottlers, and trust me on this one, it is beautiful. "The Kraken" as i called it, is a "Dream od Scotland" independent bottling of Port Charlotte (in other words peated Bruichladdich), at cask strength, that has been finished in manzanilla sherry casks. It has a 12yo age statement and has a powerful 51.3%abv. One of only 423 bottles ever made. On the nose, i get the typical Shampoo/soap note of Bruichladdich.  White chocolate, floral notes, spicy bubblegum and lotion for burnt skin. Not the best aroma out there. On the palate, it is tasty. Peaches, pepper and aromatic herbs. Aftertaste is very dry; with raw rice notes and something that can only be described as glue to close an envelope. Cotton Overall, the label was far better than the whisky itself, which is not bad, but nothing special. It lacks complexity for a Cask Strength, but also it is not delivering you any clean aroma or tasting notes. A little disspointed with this one, my score for it is 82 over 100.
