Nose
Shows maturity, with a lifted estery quality. More perfumed and floral with water. Digestive biscuits and nutmeggy spiciness then clove. Palate
Seamless and highly energetic. Layered fruits, dark chocolate and a dazzling array of spices that fly over the tongue. Finish
Sparkling. Complex. Comment
Another killer from Mr Walker’s warehouse. Distillery of the year for me.
Arthur Motley
Nose
Honeysuckle, gala melon and some sweet, oily terpentine notes. Vanilla-infused rice pudding, baked sweet gammon and powdered almonds. Palate
Peaches in sweet syrup, orange, grass. Marzipan and sultana cookies, made with nutmeg. Finish
Drying tannins that balance the earlier sweetness. Comment
Proudly and confidently mature.
