Tamnavulin 1991 15 Years Old

ABV 40%

The nose is not appealing. But the taste is interesting. Water improves the nose but not the palate.

Finish: Pleasantly smooth,with a fresh liquorice note.

Comment: The nose is not appealing. But the taste is interesting. Water improves the nose but not the palate.

Score: 7.4

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Slightly turfy smoke at work here. Hazelnut and Walnut Whips. Becomes increasingly malty, Ryvita,dried fruit. Slightly plain and oaky.

Palate: Opens to light smoke. Some oak derived depth. Doesn't like water and\rlacks oomph.

Finish: Nutty.

Comment: Why bottle a 15 Years Old single cask at 40%?
