Taster

Nose: Rich and sherried. Antique shop. Cigar box. Meaty. Oxtail. Bacon. Cedar. Tarte Tatin.

Palate: Syrupy. Mouth-coating. A beautiful harmony between oak and fruit. Praline. Baked apple in maple syrup. Sweetness prevails.

Finish: Sweet. oak, spices try to calm it down.

Comment: Quite an assertive blend. The nose delivers to the palate but it tastes older than 15 years.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Clover honey, vanilla, cooked pear moving into caramelised fruits and peat smoke balanced by toasty oak. There's some very old whiskies in here.

Finish: Long and ripe.

Comment: This is great blending. Top flight stuff.
