Nose

The classic heavy wood tones of cinnamon, ginger, damp forest floor and church pews.

Palate

A big hit of oak, followed by some summer fruit compote which takes a while to appear, plum jam and fig chutney. Tropical fruits.

Finish

Sweet builders' tea (black) with a hint of plum and fig at the death.\r

Comment

This is the Rolling Stones of whisky; nothing without the wood turned up loud! A very well aged liquid which is big and fruity once the air gets to it.
