Even after 18 years, the pot still refuses to be mastered by the wood. Very drinkable.

Tasting Notes

Peter Mulryan

Taster

Nose: A gentle caress of apricots and carbolic soap.

Palate: That firm, linseed crackle of pot still whiskey, the edges rounded by sultanas.

Finish: Mince pies then a farewell buzz from the unmalted barley.

Comment: Even after 18 years, the pot still refuses to be mastered by the wood. Very drinkable.

Score: 8.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Rich fruit and nut. Good weight with positive (resinous) oak notes. Linseed oil, black butter, moss, dried apricot and honey, toffee apple. Mature.

Palate: Rolls around the mouth, becoming intensely exotic. Dried peels, peach, honey, Turkish Delight. Nutty grip, fruit cake, bitter chocolate and cream.

Finish: Firm, oak.

Comment: Seems drier than I remember but still well balanced.

Score: 8.5
