Ambassadors Cask, Aged 21 Years

ABV 47.5%

A touch astringent for my tastes, but respectable. Ambassador, surely you should be really spoiling us?

Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Quince jelly, cereal husk, wine gums and papaya. Warm apple turnover with almonds on top. A smear of engine oil.

Palate: Sherry, unripe apples, mixed spice and oak.

Finish: A chewed pencil, flaking paint and all.

Comment: A touch astringent for my tastes, but respectable. Ambassador, surely you should be really spoiling us?

Score: 7.8

Owen Barstow

Taster

Nose: Big and smooth. Linseed oil with a creamy vanilla toffee background. Pears.

Palate: Sweet and oily, then tannic and woody. Charred. Sun dried fruits. Attains balance and elegance with water. Tropical fruit characteristics develop.

Finish: Oily, yet astringent. Fruity.

Comment: Don't be tempted to take it neat, it's way too big and unbalanced. Senescent?

Score: 7.3
