One for the collectors. Nonetheless, I wish Millburn had continued to be a distillery, rather than turning into a steakhouse.

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Rich, elegant. Balanced mix of oak, dried fruits/peels, smoke, tobacco, nuts, sultana cake.

Palate: Medium- to full-bodied. Sweet start that soon picks up prickles of spiciness, then red fruits/cherry and dried fruits. Flows beautifully in the mouth: nutmeg, light syrup, oak, fruit cake. Utterly delicious, autumnal. Complex, gorgeous.

Finish: Dry, spicy, slightly smoky.

Comment: Real energy, drive and life. Classy.

Score: 9
