Review #4 - Whisk(e)y #3 Nose - dominated by sweet fruit, baked apples and honey, being sweet and slightly floral. It is a rather rich nose, and the alcohol cannot be distinguished at all. Palate - very smooth, with barely any alcohol burn. The taste is special, very heavy, rich, same as the nose, especially compared to what I drank so far. The taste of malt and walnuts is very prominent, together with that of honey, fruit, dark chocolate, mostly sweet, but there is also an aroma of grains. The whisky is viscuous, oily. Finish - medium-long, dry towards the end, with a slight spiciness tingling the tongue. After the addition of ice, this latter taste is amplified dramatically, being very peppery, with the sweetness being diminished. At the start it did seem slightly overwhelming, but I believe I did start to appreciate it the more I drank it.
