Tasting Notes

Charles Montanaro

Taster

Nose: Welcoming old oak, sweet acacia honey moving into an enjoyable fresh, vanilla and orange heavy nose finishing on a buttery note which screams creaminess.

Palate: Opening a candy store, with toffee, burnt caramel, cooked sour apple going into a warming, pleasantly full bodied malted barley.

Finish: Peppery clean, with a tingling finish which comes dangerously close \nto astringent.

Comment: An enjoyable dram, albeit its astringency could be a problem for some.

Score: 7.8

Chris Goodrum

Taster

Nose: Subtle but deep with plenty of oak to begin with along with coffee, chicory, barley, oxidised fruit, orange and oily peanut / walnuts. Showing some delightful maturity and sweetness which reminds me of a late harvested wine.

Palate: Soft and unctuous with an oxidised Cognac-esque fruit rancio, then lightly coffeed oak. Dried (non-sherried) fruit is the focal point. Oozing class and maturity with a sweet spice note.

Finish: Finish: Long and gently spiced with the Cognac-esque notes lingering.

Comment: Two words... Simply stunning!
