Comment: Much the best North Port I have tasted.
Score: 7.3
Taster
Nose: An attractive, bemusing array of oaky notes running from almost imperceptible rice paper to sub-bourbony toasty, liquorice.
Palate: A sweet, spicy start that evolves into a deeply sweet and malty middle with a touch of honey.
Finish: Comparatively quick and thin, returning to the oaky theme.
Comment: One of the better North Port's you'll find: later distillations were not even remotely in this class.
Score: 8.3
