Loads of oak &#8211; even as much as the sweetness is only in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oak, oak, oak at first in <strong>the taste<\/strong>. Not in an overwhelming way though. The classic grain whisky sweetness is there, but very subdued to what you normally get in old grain whisky. Burned caramel and sweet raisins. <strong>The finish<\/strong> is loooong and the sweetness comes a bit more forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">46 year old might seem as a strange number, but I think they knew exactly what they were doing. I think a couple of years longer in the casks would have made this all oaky and ruined the whisky. If you like well-aged cask influenced whisky &#8211; this is you.
