Nose : Full, heavy dark fruitiness with candy and icing sugar. Plums, black cherries, strawberries in the proven Cask Wizard intensity, behind it the earthy smoke can be guessed. The 57.3% are hardly noticeable in the nose and can be smelled super. Rubbing on the back of the hand reveals a nuttiness of walnuts and earthiness, then light campfire residues. Will the smoke be more present on the palate?

Palate : Oh yes! Tangy attack with full smoke power: charcoal, campfire ash, sweet earthy peat. There are also distinct red wine cask aromas along with chocolate, red grapes and the typical heaviness. After the first push, the whisky becomes smoother, making it easy to enjoy undiluted, even at 57.3%. The sweetness of dark fruits sprinkled with vanilla sugar leads the smoke team with the chocolaty red wine into the finish. There are also a few peanuts.

Finish : The whisky remains very long present at the back of the tongue, with a slight dryness and vinous peat smoke. The flavour construct from the transition to the finish just stays and hardly changes: one has the feeling that the whisky sticks to the back of the palate while time stands still. Later, the charred campfire residue becomes a little stronger, while the dry red wine note continues to provide a nice counterpoint to it. Exhaling strongly through the nose, you have the sweet, vinous peat smoke all over again. A consistent finish of fantastic length! Each sip lasts for a little eternity.
