Nose - (w/o water) Bit hot, sharp sweet apple juice, honey (w/ water) less heat, but otherwise the same Taste - (w/o water) Bit thin, drying mouthfeel, white pepper heat, dark fruity honey (w/ water) Less drying, more balanced dark honey, more apple notes Finish - (w/o water) Mouth drying, dark honey, white pepper heat (w/ water) Less drying, light heat, fruity honey Score - 75/100 Final Thoughts - As I expected, it's a slightly better version of their standard peated 12 year offering. This is more down my alley as it's unpeated, but it's still very much one-dimensional although the extra 6 years is apparent in that it has a lot better mouthfeel. It feels like the sweetness is more refined, a bit darker honey, but still very one-dimensional. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
