Bottle. Pours black and thick. Oaky nose. Big flavour explosion with almost raisiny sweetness offset by vanilla and woodiness. A little more alcohol burn than I’d hoped, but luscious nevertheless.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that’s soon less than a coat but never quite gives up. Somewhat boozy aroma of peaty whisky, vanilla, chocolate, dark berries/ shiraz. Quite silky textured, lowish carbonation. Lots of chocolate and (nice) vanilla with a big waft of whisky and smoke at the rather bitter finish. Some berries and oak, vanilla gets a bit lost after a time. A little harsh for me at the end (maybe a bit burnt plasticy too) but perhaps that will settle in a while. Recommended temp was 8-10C, I started at 11 and liked it much more as it warmed and a little more sweetness became evident.
