Taster
Nose: A feather-light, deft aroma boasting a subtle but curious guava fruitiness.
Palate: A composed and delicious maltiness gains hold for the most intense of crescendos. The climax is almost erotic.
Finish: A long, oak-rich afterglow.
Comment: Do whiskies get any sexier than this? An essay in balance and complexity for its age that teases and tantalises the taste buds mercilessly. Outstanding: truly awesome!!
Score: 8.5
