Water takes away the melting sensation that makes this one so wonderfully different. A good desert malt. Again, this was a split between the girls and the boys. Very sherried as expected, but Matt felt it was a little hollow tasting and not full-bodied enough to deserve a higher score than 89. Old Fettercairn 'Old Fetterfartin' 82 Shitty start.
