Pours black, small tanned head fades fast. Scent is very full, roasty, chocolate, milder whiskey. Taste is very full, bit of heath, lots of whisky. Rather sweet, buttery-whiskey . Lovely, not the best version but certainly enjoyable.

Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth Pre-GBBF 2017 tasting - London. Cheers! Pours brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds moderate roast, light ash, cocoa. Medium to big sweet flavour with rounded chocolate notes. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, more ample roasted malts, gooey chocolate. Nice one overall.

50 cl bottle (2020) @ FF tasting. Rated on 13.03.2021. Aroma is odd and sweet with strong rye pudding tones and liquor. Flavour has sweet ryeish malt, liquor, whisky tones. Finishes with alcohol. Too sweet, drinkability suffers. Rated on 2021-03-13.
