    80
    Color
    Deep Orange
    Nose
    Strong alcohol, Floural grassiness with water.
    Body
    Dry, Hot, Somewhat dryer with water.
    Palate
    Malt, Orange, Lemon, Spice. Water brings out alot more wine. Poorly integrated and overwhelming.
    Finish
    Long, Hot, Malt Cinnamon, Allspice. Lots of wine with water.

    I didn't like this whisky at all with water. The flavours become poorly integrated, and i didn't like the wine tones at all.
