En specialare som inte klarar de höga förväntningarna (ännu). Flaskan är magisk, doften lovar gott, men smaken hänger inte riktigt med, kan bli bättre med lite lagring. Doft av salmiak, lakrits. Smakar samma men balansen saknas.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Smells as if I've been transported in time back to valleys working in the pit. The whiskey taste is winning the battle to stand out and stand our it does. It's soft but aggressive like a grizzly bear in heat.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms Folkungagatan, Stockholm. Pitch black, creamy beige head. Peaty smoke with butter, licorice and chocolate. Near full bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Whisky gets very prominents, but is in harmony with tarry, heavily roasted malt. Salty licorice lingers in a finish, where the Bruichladdich whisky really shines.
