ABV 40%
Quite an assertive blend. The nose delivers to the palate but it tastes older than 15 years.

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.
Score: 9
