Taste notes from a regular malt whisky drinker: Nose: 4,25* Sweeter than the sweetest whisky, baked candy sugar, plums, BBQ roast with honey and white pepper, nicely layered Palate: 4,25* So velvety, peppery coating turns to sweet honey Finish: 4* Bitter woodsy funk, dark spices, ash, sweet honey lingers Very balanced, yet pushing the edges, almost like a fine aged scotch would. Just not as deeply complex. Arrangement and mouth feel reminds me a bit of Glendronach Allardice. Must-have for the price.
