Cask Number: 2839 Bottle Number: 97
Nose: Heavy wood influence, pie crusts, underripe satsumas. Fairly sweet. For me, the nose is the best part.
Palate: Once again lots of wood, sugar and spice, maple. It's a bit like young brandy. If I hold the whisky in my mouth long enough, a faint bit of musty flavor appears. Very faint, but a little off-putting.
Finish: No real development, the flavor just sort of fades.
This is unfortunate. The whisky should be much better, especially given the fact that they apparently put so much effort into it. It's not bad, it's just not very interesting. It seems that the more drams of this I have, the more boring it gets.

That's too bad. I really enjoy my bottle (different cask). I have the exact opposite reaction to my 15yr, as it is a VERY interesting dram.
