Taster
Nose: Wonderful gentle smoke with a slight old school apothecary herbal and medicinal note. There are fresh fruits here too.
Palate: Orange barley sugar with a gentle tug of peat smoke. There is an earthy quality, almost roasted chestnuts and crispy bacon.
Finish: Long and drying.
Comment: An interesting progression from the five and eight Years Old expressions.
Score: 7.9
