Another single cask release from Swedish distillery Smögen. Distilled 2013-03-16, matured in a 1st fill ex-Oloroso hogshead (cask #12/2013), and bottled 2023. Limited to 361 bottles.

Nose: Dark and mysterious, with notes of licorice and a pine wood forest on fire, mingling with fluffy clouds of cotton candy.

Taste: Full-bodied and vibrant, delivering a powerful potion of menthol, pine wood smoke, cut grass, creamy vanilla, and assorted dried fruits.

Finish: Medium to long, maintaining its fruity and sweet character. Vibrant and all-powerful till the end, with a deeply sweet, sooty, and mentholated finish.

Comment: Power play!

Score 88/100
