Nosing: 
Lots of wood spice. Savoury maltiness. Nutmeg and black pepper. Some dried fruit backing it up.
Taste:
Powerful arrival, lots of dried fruit and spices. Pepper, ginger, a little clove. Intensity builds over time
Finish:
Finishes strong and long. Lots of wood spice notes, relatively dry, residual dried fruits.
Comment:
This is absolutely cracking for a blended malt. You could put this in any single malt tasting and it would go toe to toe with any 12-15 year release. The alcohol is balanced just right, there's a little heat buildup if you hold it in your mouth. Wouldn't want to go any higher, no water needed though, it just makes the experience punchy rather than raw.
85/100

An interesting exercise in oak management. Pepper, close and hints of American White oak on the nose. With water, Bourbon notes, drip coffee and chili flakes emerge.
Intensely oak-structured palate - comparable to Glenmorangie "Artisan Cask".
Bourbon-like finish focusing on vanilla and caramel.

Taste: Very complex, the taste is surprising, the longer you keep it, the more flavors you discover, in a strange but very pleasant order

Nosing: Burst of "Christmas" spices, especially cinnamon. Caramel, vanilla.
Taste: Continues spicy and mouth watering, with light oak near finish
Finish: Medium long to long and throat warming
Comment: A bold vatting which shows how much and how many flavors can be brought out in a blend of single malts.
