Online tasting note for reference:

Nose:
Some prickle at first and a sweet top note. Water brings up antiseptic notes reminiscent of carbolic soap.

Palate:
At natural strength, rich and thick in texture with an immediately very sweet, powerful taste. The spiciness of stem ginger and deep fruitiness, backed by faint smoke. Good at natural strength and softened with a drop of water, a deliciously sweet and gingery dram.

Finish:
Rich, long and lasting. Leaves a delicious aftertaste.
