One only to sell. Minor scuffs to the cannister otherwise excellent condition. Other reviews... I already tasted this one several times but never took proper notes. Colour: amber – salmony. Nose: rather hot at first nosing, marked by the red fruits (strawberries, raspberries) but with also a nice freshness. Notes of coffee. Gets fruitier and fruitier with time, with also hints of flowers (peonies, typically). Nice balance although it’s almost more hugely fortified Port than Port-flavoured whisky. Mouth: powerful and immensely fruity again, together with a little pepper. Almost too hot, let’s try it with a little water: still very fruity but a little more complex, with quite some melon coming through, ripe peaches… Still very sweet, almost sugarish now. The finish is long, very long, on overripe strawberries and pepper. Hmmm, not exactly my cup of tea, I’m afraid, it’s too ‘easily’ sweet and fruity, but it’s not flawed either.
