Taster

Nose: Fragrant, with that hint of nutmeg, but subtle and complex spiciness.

Palate: Rich, with cream and honey flavours. Reminded me of Atholl Brose.

Finish: Firm spicy.

Comment: Rounded. On the sweet side.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Slightly turfy nose with orange peel, saddles and dried heather but also a touch of solvent. Water makes it a little more scented-geraniums, wood polish. Pretty rich but also dry.

Palate: The oak is well-polished and maybe a little too upfront but there's a good mix of ripe, dark fruit and walnut behind.

Finish: Fruit, then dries.

Comment: The oak is a little heavy.

Score: 7
