Very unique on nose and front tongue. Sweet and sour. Malty. Spicy and strong. Musty. Wanted to like this more. Will revisit as I drink the bottle down as I read it changes with oxidation. Also turns into a completely different whisky with water. Sour taste disappears and it becomes very sweet. I prefer it without the water. Update: chasing the 21yr Portwood with this and it’s holding up well. I’m upgrading the rating. The oxidation treats this well.
