Taster
Nose: Bourbon notes combined with more fragrant cedar wood. There are also hints of cloves and cinnamon.
Palate: Very fruity to begin with berry flavours,with echoes of port,then the sweet spice comes through. It's assertive but not aggressive.
Finish: Long and warming,with spice and zesty orange peel.
Comment: A wonderfully complex dram for contemplation.
Score: 8.5
