Needs time

A complex malt that really needs time in the glass to open up. Initially acetic, but after some water and patience, it turns into a beautifully matured sweet/savoury sherried dram. Plums, raisins and buiscuits with a bit of soy sauce. One of the best I have had in 5 years.

Not worth it

Overpowering. Huge bite. Not smooth at all. I gave it a month to open up, still disappointing. Don't waste your money.
