As black as the dark arts. Aromas of fruited whisky with raspberry rising. Dark chocolate whisky liqueurs to taste with bright raspberry shining through. The tart fruit notes and bitter cocoa nibs melt perfectly with the sweet, floral and citrus speyside character. Delivered sour and dry with a gentle whisky warmth to finish.

Bottle, dark brown with a thin head. Super nose, sour raspberry with dark roasted grain overtones. In the flavor I get a bit of wood, balsamic vinegar, hint of smoke, and not much of the advertised whisky (but I think it's overpowered). Nice but a bit too tangy/acidic for my taste.
