A single cask bottling from the Signatory Vintage ‘Un-Chillfiltered Collection’ and ‘natural color’  from a single cask but reduced to 46% instead of being bottled at cask strength. This line of whiskies contains some real crackers. The nose is both sherried and sulphury; sherry wine mixed with ammonia, damp cardboard and a vague vegetative characteristic.  There is also some vanilla and honey behind the other aromas. The taste is malty, sour with heather, wet forest floor, cherries and raisins. Also burnt toast. The finish is very strong with damp leather, wood, malt and the rubbery sourness backed by the malt and the sherry. After a minute of two the malt becomes very dry however it is intermingled with the sourness and the wet cardboard.

Yikes.
