Overall
Score
7.6
Nose
Oaky and fruity. Cider cellar. Rich and complex. Dunnage warehouse. Stewed apples in honey. A hint of vetiver. A smoky and earthy note in the back. Oak is present but elegantly mingling \rwith fruit.
Palate
Round and smooth. With a slight watery gap. The oak tends to mask the fruit. A festoon of gentle spices.
Finish
Smooth but a bit weak.
Comment
An old whisky, obviously, but just on the edge of losing its strength. The nose is more complex and structured than the palate.
