Appearance – Light to mid gold in colour, very viscous with think slow legs.
Nose – Oooh meaty, pineapple, icing sugar, menthol freshness, apricots, there’s definitely honey, has a coastal note, and higher than 40% ABV.
Palate – Nice ABV, slightly oily mouthfeel, tropical and stoned fruits, some red fruits, a little Biscuity, white pepper, and a slightly oily flavour too.
Finish – Quite long, peppery, lots of oak, a little icing sugar and cigar leaves, builds quite a bit.
My thoughts – I did rather like this whiskey to be honest, loverly flavours, nice and darker notes towards the end.
Would I buy a bottle? – For the flavour? definitely, for the price? i’d need to find it discounted personally.
Notes – I believe this bottle to be non chill filtered and of natural colour.
