Pours black with a big brown head initially, soon thins itself out. Smells of toasted malt and smoky Scotch.after the smell I was a touch worried it was just going to test like a funny whisky but it hits a good balance. Pratt Islay whisky is in there of course, but there's earthy malt and perhaps a little dried fruit too. Not deeply complex but it's strong, the flavours don't drown each out, it's rich and smooth and has a lingering Islay finish. Just stays the right side of being too whisky-...y.

Can shared with ma bro. It pours black with a dissipating tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, charred wood, smoke, bubblegum, rocky road, cherry, jam, vanilla, earthy roast and marshmallow. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, rocky road, earthy, peppery spice, cacao, chocolate cake, tannin, smoke, islay whisky vibe, medicinal and cherry action with a toasty and smokey finish. Full body and fine, foamy carbonation. Well rounded, smokey and moreish. Very nice indeed.
