Tasted this one at my single malt scotch club on Feb 3rd.
My Taste Notes-
Nose: Perfume mingling with fruity ice wine; new shoots of celery heart proffer a sweet-edgy combo. There is some complexity here.
Taste: Spicy, fruit cocktail, stewed prunes, black olives, white pepper. Oaky tones merge with an earthy background.
Finish: Long, dark spicy fruit and black liquorice. Warming. A nice Winter dram.
Rating:84.5
***I didn't get a chance to add a few drops of water here but I have an inkling that H20 would enhance this dram which seems slightly bound up at cask strength.

Oh, it's Kensington Wine Market in Calgary Alberta, well known in Canada. Common abbreviation here.

Ah ok, couldnt figure it out at all. So did they send a wine cask to Scotland specially for this bottling. |

I believe they had a whisky agent who selected the cask in Scotland and brought it here.
