Taster

Nose: Soft and honeyed (comb) with a suggestion of age (suede),charred oak,leaf mould and a hint of sulphur.\rThere's mint and a butterscotch note, dried citrus peels. Light Dominican cigar. Complex.

Palate: Unctuous. Oozes into every crevice and fold in the mouth. Red fruits,citrus once again. Ripe and long.

Finish: Thick, syrupy.

Comment: Fantastic dram,but why oh why put it in such a horrible bottle?
