Tasting Notes

Nose

Unctuous. PX/Bristol milk. Walnut, raisin. Very sweet and soft. Moscatel and heathery smoke.

Palate

Mouth coating and soft then the grip of oak. Has a mature character giving it an extra dimension.

Finish

The dry oak lessens and out comes rich sherried flavours.

Comment

Like all old whiskies everything is delivered on the finish.
