This is interesting expression due to the heavy influence of the Muscat de Rivesaltes cask aging, and at 11 years and 63% this is one of the hottest scotches I’ve had. I’ve never added water to one but this is one I wish I had a full bottle to play with as it just drinks hot all around.
Ill give this the score because its interesting, and I would want a full bottle to play around with to see how my feelings would change about it.
