"...Mouth: Dense, chocolatey, deeply earthy and resinous on arrival. Almost salty! You have these wonderfully farmyard and mineral notes with lychee syrup, quince paste, umami, oyster sauce, rancio, VORS palo cortado and more dense coffee flavours like fresh espresso. Continues with dried herbs, caraway, a hint of soot and some subtle and rather beautiful waxiness. Finish. Long, sappy, earthy, resinous and herbal. Some final flickers of peat, wood embers, engine oil, old medicine and an eventual wink of green and citrus fruits." (5 stars-Whiskyfun)
