This is the review I did on Master of Malt website one year ago as soon as I opened my bottle and drank the first dram: "Just WOW!! Just opened a bottle of this nectar of Gods and WOW!! This is good, really good! Some citrus and smoke on the nose and the palate is very thick, some spice, some caramel sweetness and a little brine. Incredible mellow for 57% Add some water and the spiceness really kick in! Crazy stuff." Strangely I remember that when I tasted it the first time at the Distillery I wasn't so "wowed" as I was when drinking from my new bottle at home. So I just poured a dram to write the review and it reminded me of my first impressions. A very good whisky but the WOW factor is gone. Be sure not to keep this bottle open for a long time... Share it with some friends! ;-) (Decided it would be fair to drop 1 star for this review - Now a 4 stars)
