Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Floral, with thick dried fruit; there are raisins, dates and some candied peels.
Palate
The palate is as thick as the nose suggests. The dried fruit dominates... add figs to the mix, plus there's sweet marmalade, chocolate and leather, with a good jolt of pepper.
Finish
Dark, dark chocolate, 80 percent cocoa solids at least. A balanced bitterness over marmalade caramel.
Overall
Thick, dark and reassuring. A whisky you have to chew.
