330ml bottle @ Admiral Benbow, Shrewsbury shared with Ewan. Pours a very dark amber, off-white head. Strong aroma of bourbon whisky, continuing to taste with hints of almond and butterscotch. A noticeably lighter wee heavy body compared to, say, a bourbon BA porter, gentle amber malts. Good clobber.
