Taster

Nose: Rich, mature wooded notes. Coconut and cocoa overlaying some tropical fruits. With water a sweaty saddle note.

Palate: Rounded and silky. Cherry stone. Good length and feel. Plenty of wood on show here. Bourbon like.

Finish: Sweet spices and oak.

Comment: A ripe dram which seems to have headed across to Kentucky. Big and lush.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: A very fruity nose: ripe melon, bananas and kiwis. Milk chocolate, digestive biscuits, and pear drops.

Palate: Lots of bourbon character, with vanilla, refresher sweets and some mint.

Finish: Milk chocolate, and a trace of sulphur.

Comment: Lip-smackingly mature.

Score: 8.3
