This is a real dense Scotch. Super enjoyable but in small doses. Ive had it open for about 2 months. Had both neat & with some water. Both was are great & water does not change it much The nose is salty bacon? Floral maybe even chocolate covered cherries. There is a lot going on Taste is a rch, brine bbq of ike toffee bacon mixed with fruit… IDK how to summarize it better.
