Whisky Advent Calendar: Day 10/24 - Grant's 25

Nose: Nuts galore! There's also cigars, musty raisins, bakes apples, thick honey, crystallised ginger and chocolate covered dates.

Palate: Rich, with waves of dark chocolate, sherry-soaked dark fruit, orange and tobacco.

Finish: Chocolate cake with cream, dark cherries, oranges and After Eight mints.

Notes: This one took a long, long time to open up for me. I also added a tiny drop of water after 20 minutes which brought the whisky's fruit characters to the fore.
