80
- Nose
- A generous sherry character. Crème brûlée. Amaretto. Rhubarb jam. Quite an exotic profile. Sandalwood, vetiver.
- Palate
- Sweet mellow toffee.
- Finish
- Muscular. Cinnamon, liquorice.
- Comment
- A well matured and well balanced malt. The sherry notes tend to muzzle the distillery character. An iron hand in a velvet glove!
80
- Nose
- Deep and powerful. Burnt raisin and cinnamon. Date loaf, dried fig.
- Palate
- Leathery and deep, fine tannins and light meatiness. Savoury and intense. Chicory, rose.
- Finish
- Coffee bean.
- Comment
- Brooding and slow to develop. Classic European oak but the spirit has enough weight to cope with the chunky wood.
