Final Thoughts - So this was quite interesting in that it had a very pleasant nose. Very interesting funky fruit sweet and nicely balanced. This transitioned to the palate with a bit more funk which introduced something that I've gotten previously with the Dalmore Cigar Malt which I have mixed feelings about. It's this kind of meaty, funky, mushroomy sweet red wine funk that I have mixed feelings about. This also transitions to the finish that lasts for quite a bit.
