Taster

Nose: Deep and mature. Tarte tatin cinnamon stick. Fleshy and ripe with peaches, quince, cedar and complex. Sweet and rich.

Palate: Totallly different to the nose. Here it is all about suede leather fragrant pipe smoke and ripe soft fruits. A teasing whisky with great length. Oddly exotic.

Finish: Liquorice and treacle, then sweet.

Comment: Plump. A pudding whisky. Excellent.

Score: 8.5
