Appearance
Mid gold in colour, the medium thick swirl line drops quite thick legs. #thewhiskeychaps
Nose
The nose starts off quite foresty for me, red berries, dunnage, milky coffee too atm. #thewhiskeychaps
It’s becoming quite sweet now, a dusting of caster sugar, green grapes with very faint menthol, yes the red berries too, cereals, and now an oiliness is coming through, it’s developing a fair bit tbh. #thewhiskeychaps
Palate
Nice mouthfeel, and the palate is a mix of toasted tea cakes, chocolate coated Turkish delight, a little drying, dark chocolate, prunes and figs, faint root ginger, and leaning towards espresso tbh. #thewhiskeychaps
I have to say it is quite a fruity dram in general, there are some tannins here, it’s becoming spicier with time too, black pepper as @whiskeychap suggested, and a flash of floral perfume. #thewhiskeychaps
Finish
Not particularly long in length, but the spices do linger longer. This is sweet syrup sweetened black coffee with cigar leaves, cinnamon, vanilla and strawberry laces at the end. #thewhiskeychaps
My thoughts
In general this is a pretty good dram, not a bad version of Ben Nevis, but also not the best. I enjoyed the aromas and flavours, but i tasted better on the tasting that this was a part of, so it isn’t one i’d purchase, but i’m very pleased that i got to try it.
