Overall
Score
8.5
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.
