This whisky is Edition No. 41 from WhiskySponge. Matured in a 3rd fill barrel, and limited to 261 bottles. Check out the official product page at Decadent Drinks.

Nose: Malty and rich with sweet wood smoke and unmistakable pine wood aromas. Caramel and vanilla provide warmth, while orchard fruits add a welcoming freshness.

Taste: Full-bodied and perfectly composed. Rich, creamy wood smoke dominates, with notes of pine wood and orchard fruits. Mellow layers of vanilla, chocolate, and honey weave through, enhanced by a touch of herbal complexity. Assorted citrus and a drop of salty seawater add a maritime twist.

Finish: Long and beautifully balanced. Malty and smoky with sweet, fruity undertones that linger harmoniously.

Comment: Pure enjoyment!
