Mouth: the Port feels too much for me and makes the whisky sweeter than necessary. Strawberry jam, cherry jam… Now technically speaking, this is probably flawless. Finish: medium, very sweet, with some salinity in the background. Fig jam. Comments: in my book this is a different category. Taste and colours…
