Review #66 - Whisk(e)y #48 Chill-filtered - Yes Added Colour - Yes ABV - 40% Aspect - Gold-amber colour. Nose - Sweet, malt, caramel, honey, oak, oak spice, slight grainy sharpness, general dried fruit, dryness, dark chocolate. Palate - Slightly creamy, malty and sweet on front-end, turns hot and, spicy, with oak on the mid-palate. As the harshness tames down, there is a burst of fresh orchard fruit sweetness, followed by dried fruit and dryness. Finish - Medium...perhaps even medium-long, dark, dried fruit, malt, raisins, caramel, honey, oaky dryness, pleasant subtle bitterness...dark chocolate after-taste, with crême brulée - caramelised sugar coming in later. I think for a bottle available at 23 EUR / L the finish remarkable, while the nose is also great...although harshness is clearly present on the mid-palate. Significantly better than the overly-bitter classic Black Bush, and it has just become a favourite in this price range, together with the Dewar's 12yo.
