Bottled picked up in Pitlochry. It pours darkest brown with small beige to tan head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, rocky road, chocolate cake, roasted malt, coffee cake and vanilla cake frosting. The taste is dry, bitter, tannin, charred wood, rich roasted malt, cane frosting nougat, punchy vanilla, oak, tannin, chewy, toothy, bit of smoke, tar and whisky with a drying and boozy warmth. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Plenty of flavour going on.
