Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Wood polish, new leather and brittle toffee. Over-ripe bananas and freshly cut broccoli. Coal fires with time.

Palate: Rich yet elegant. Viscous. Molasses and dried fruits, Becoming drier in the mouth.

Finish: Long, with cocoa powder and developing tannins.

Comment: Manages to retain its delicacy despite the big sherry notes.

Score: 8.5

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: At first butterscotch Angel Delight, Harrogate toffee and some milk chocolate and raisins. A little whiff of smoke too.

Palate: Big and mouth coating with that caramel, toffee sweetness. There are also plenty of dried fruits and a little hint of fresh ground coffee.

Finish: Long and warming, spiced.

Comment: A lovely example of a balanced aged whisky.

Score: 8.6
