Type: Scotch Whisky
Region: Scotland
Volume: 700ml
ABV: 43%
Description: Nose: much less varnish and more roundness although it seems to be just as oaky as the 17. Lots of plums, sauce for Pecking duck (how oriental is that?), strongly reduced wine sauce, liquorice? Really concentrated. Lots of milk chocolate as well.
Mouth: balanced, slightly peppery at the attack quite some salt as well.
The finish is appetisingly spicy, with notes of vanilla and cocoa.
