Tasting notes

Taster Jim Murray

Nose: Usual heavyweight aroma associated with this distillery. Oloroso is evident. A very slight sulphur note spoils the harmony a little.
Palate: Enormously rich mouth feel, with roasted barley and then a wave of grapey fruit.
Finish: Deliciously oily and sprinkled with soft spices, vanilla, caramel and oak.
Comment: Massive whisky from a pint-sized distillery and massively impressive.

8.8

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Dried apricots. Oloroso sherry. Faintly spicy smokiness.
Palate: Creamy. Minty. Nutty. Almondy dryness.
Finish: Firm. Grippy. A touch of peaty bitterness.
Comment: Much more sherried than the previous 10 Years Old distillery bottling. The back-label still lifts (unattributed) phrases from my tasting notes for that edition. The new version is very elegant, but the earlier one had more distillery character.
