Tasting Notes
Robert Karlsson	Drier a bit youngish (?) maltiness. Spicy vanilla. Hints of peat? Classic malty sweetness. Drier vanilla. Uncomplicated.
Rich Howard	the nose starts immediately on quite some walnuts, maybe some fresh mushrooms, a little fresh dirt, apple skins, then some wood polish, with powdered sugar lurking in the background. the palate is also fairly strong on nuts and mushrooms, cilantro, a little fresh apple sweetness. a drop of water accents the wood polish and oak on the nose, and the walnuts, mushrooms and wood on the palate, almost no fruit or powdered sugar left. summary: a very earthy dram, not shy on the wood polish and wood.
