Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intense. Strong wood influence. Sandalwood, cigar box. Floral. Bulb flowers (like Hyacinths). Fruit comes behind. Dried out prune, dawson plum. Long peppercorns. Complex.

Palate: Elegant, rich. Sweet dried fruit then the oak fills in. But beautifully integrated. Toffee, pepper.

Finish: Long, refined. Sweet. Dates

Comment: A brilliant example of an old bourbon. Wood influenced but in the most refined way.

Score: 8.5

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Big humidor and tobacco notes. Sawn oak sweetness with dark fruit and toffee. Intense and layered.

Palate: Heavy burnt sugar, almost a little smokiness. Christmas cake but also a lot of oak.

Finish: Just keeps going.

Comment: Mr Morris has hit the nail on the head with this one.

Score: 8.6
