330 ml bottle from St. Andrews and consumed nearby. Conservative BB date stamp of March 2016. One of 1948 bottles. Barrel aged for 92 days.

Looks good: deep, clear red-amber body with a decent head.

Whisky dominates the sweet aroma and permeates the flavor, but there's decent balance here, with the some medium roasted grain flavor evident. The aroma is not quite as good as the bourbon barrel version, perhaps justifying the no doubt expensive imported bourbon barrels, but the flavor is nearly on par.

Near medium body with appropriate medium-light carbonation.

Well hidden alcohol, excepting some nice smelling esters and slight warming.
