Definitely getting port on the nose. Hmm, there is also some alcohol burn I detect, which is a little disheartening for a 40% ABV. White grapes and butter cookies. Decent so far, so let's have a taste! Damn, that's hot for a 40%. The alcohol taste kinda obliterates the palate for me, which is really weird, because I love cask strength Islay whisky. Faint bitter dark chocolate, with even more bitter malt. There is some oak in there, but nothing else can come to the forefront. I am trying to find the blueberry in there that others have found, but it eludes me. The finish is just more alcohol, and a hot mess. Well, let's put a drop of water on it, just to give it a chance. Nope. This one is "Let Down" by Radiohead. Great song, but I'll just pass on this dram. Maybe it's just for those who like milder flavors. Thanks for the sample Scott!
