However, it tastes more mature than its age would have you think. I m told it is the microclimate at the distillery that allows the whisky to mature more quickly. Whatever the reason, it works. This whisky tastes twice its age. A very pleasant, appetizing dram, which will only get better.
Aromas are very mature and so thick, one almost needs a knife to cut it.
Thick, enveloping texture like a warm coat on a bitterly cold day. One can easily deduce this is a very old whisky the woodiness is evident on the palate. But it is not in excess. There s plenty of dried fruit, enticing wood spices, and peat to keep the palate entertained, all the way through to its very long, dry finish. Speyside single malt Scotch whisky.
