Nose

Rich and robust.Fruit cake richness, a hint of fireworks, rib of beef, hint of rosin. Layered and complex with masses of integrated oak extract balanced by the fact this is a weighty spirit. Opens and sweetens with water.

Palate

Big and tannic, but there’s also a sweet note of toffee, coffee, Dundee cake, and ripe black fruits. Powerful with great balance.

Finish

Treacle. Long and surprisingly sweet.

Comment

The beast of Dufftown does it again.
