Tasting Notes: A sweet nose, cough syrup, gingerbread followed by an appetizing sourness. Lots of body in the nose. Ripe, wine like notes like sweet sherry. In the mouth „Werthers Echte“ caramel toffee combined with soot, salt and gingerbread. All this is carried by its very well combined 58,3% alcohol. With water the whisky opens up. There is more sweetness and animal notes such as stable and leather. At the end smoke and sweetness stay in every part the mouth.
