Taster
Nose: Lean and sappy. Quite intense: white pepper, powdered ginger/coriander. Softens slightly into toffee apple, toasted tea cake, cigar box.
Palate: Soft, syrupy feel within a pretty firm, dry structure. Serious.
Finish: Spices and oak.
Comment: Old fashioned in every sense and none the worse for that.
Score: 7.8
