The nose is very similar to the regular Angel's Envy with sweet corn notes and some chemical notes. The palate starts out with nice caramel but it quickly develops a burning plastic note, sort of similar to sulfur that you'd get in a sherried malt (maybe the port barrels were sulfur treated?). It's quite hot and needs a dash of water, but even then, that burning chemical note is quite strong and off-putting. After taking notes, I looked at Tim Read's review on Scotch & Ice Cream, and he describes the off note as a hair salon smell which is a perfect description; it's like burning hair.
