There's tension in the aroma: nothing is rounded off, everything is pure and direct. On the palate, it's full and intense, with a firm structure, pronounced grain character, spicy wood influences, and a long, dry finish that lingers. This isn't a whisky to be tamed; it demands attention and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003e As with every \u003cstrong data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003eBlackadder Raw Cask,\u003c\/strong\u003e visible cask marks aren't a flaw, but a signature.
