Okay this is a macho dram. I should have taken it with a couple water drops but i didn't.
On the nose it is gentle, and maybe uninteresting at first. Plum is present, sherry, grapy aromas become more perfumed as it rests in the glass. After a while nosing it i got raisings with chocolate like the ones you buy in the movies. After tasting it once, i also noticed vanilla.
On the palate, it is a whole different story. Very strong, very hot and spicy. Oak, wood, nuts and red chilli is present. It is a hot dram, full bodied and not very gentle. The finish is strong but medium long.
It is my type of whisky and i recognize it as a good dram that most people will enjoy. A lot of character and power. 89/100.

@Jan-Kaselitz you know, this review i made it when i was starting. nowdays i want to re-review it to exploit more things. i was too inexperienced at the time i wrote this. ill try it with a couple of drops.
A few drops of water really did a lot for my reception of this fine crafted whisky. Try it next time. It is one of the few where water actually really improved the experience for me.
