Taster
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.
