| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Lots of wood influence here, and a rather oppressive alcohol content. Water! Rounds of very nicely with a surprisingly small amount. Big on nice chocolate, dried fruits and fudge. Massive taste, so much wood influence. A bit rough, wildly peppery. Lots of dried fruits, cherry kernels. Dry, wooden aftertaste. A quite challenging but rewarding malt. Wait a little and it'll grow even more on you. |
| Krishna Nukala | Brilliant smoke and phenols. Lots of dried fruits in the rear like raisins, figs, this is complex whisky. Much like sample no 72 (which turned out to be a W&M Bowmore), although very fiery- may be young aged high abv whisky, but brilliant. Leaves with an explosion in the mouth.( Blind tasting notes of MMA 2013) |
