Dark fruit, sherry, raisins, chocolate, some spices... There is so much going on with this whisky, I love it. As expected the high alcohol percentage tries to hide some of this goodness. Add a few drops of water to tame the alcohol burn and the whisky opens up to a very nice, full, rich and creamy whisky with lots of dark fruits and sherry notes. Still strong enough to pack a punch, just one slightly less hurting to the nose and tongue. Fantastic whisky!
