Taster

Nose: Sweet, rich cake mixture, dried fruits, candied citrus peel and honey roast nuts Dunnage warehouses, damp soil. Some sweet notes of woodland honey.

Palate: Silky and sweet at first then a freshness knitted with citrus and Christmas cake mixture comes through. Caramalised sugar and apples slices.

Finish: Lingering with some lovely spices and oaky notes.

Comment: Lovely stuff. The Bull just keeps on charging with some excellent expressions.

Score: 8.1

Taster

Nose: Earthy. Damp warehouse. Forest ground after a heavy shower. Dried fruit, almonds and nuts. Dundee cake. Opening on sweeter notes after some time. Praline.

Palate: Smooth at first but quickly reveals a crispy dryness. Sour fruit. Citrus. Crystallised ginger. Slightly sherbet on the tongue.

Finish: Dry, spicy. Rather long. Demerara sugar.

Comment: A dash of water cuts the edges but weakens the aromas. A well balanced whisky, hesitating between sweet and sour but finally choosing the latter.

Score: 7.7
