^ Luci - be interested in what you think - it has a very strong pencil shavings aroma to me!
I've been grafting hard in the kitchen for the last four hours.
Ham boiled and prepped and ready for baking and glazing, turkey seasoned and stuffed, the legs removed and boned and filled with chestnut and pork stuffing.
I've earned a large Singleton!
I'm not getting any pencil sharpenings, but I get a very deep caramel, spicy odour, almost verging on brandy. Explosive flavour in the mouth but not challenging, fills every corner of the gob! Really gets the juices flowing, not a dry finish. A hint of smokiness without the odour detracting from 'whiskey', if you see what I mean. There is a lingering fire in the finish, I'm just getting it, with preserved fruit in it... like a dab of fruit syrup on the tongue, not cloying, just a hint. And majule dates!
Shit, that's worth £20 of anyone's brass! I might just have found my favourite malt!
