Taster

Nose: Woody. Damp oak. Fungal. Like walking in a forest on a wet November\rday. Bitter orange marmalade. Rancio

Palate: Crisp. Oak speaks up. Obviously a very old whisky. Old furniture. Prunes.\rFlowering currant. Passion fruit.

Finish: Lingering,oaky with a sweet prune note

Comment: A very old whisky which has retained vigour but lost its balance. Oak is prevailing. To savour more like a piece of liquid history.

Score: 7

Taster

Nose: Takes its time but reveals stewed oranges,wet wood and leaves,a little\rmint and leather.

Palate: There is bitter sweet oak at first. Orange peel,liquorice and some dark fruits.

Finish: The oak dominates and dries on fruits.

Comment: Clearly to be enjoyed like an old document, but what a price point.

Score: 8
