Nose
Dried figs. Palate
Figgy. Finish
Minty. Warming, soothing. Late bitterness. Comment
This mahogany dram looks like a winter warmer, and that is how I would use it.
Dave Broom
Nose
A dense, nutty, heavily sherried nose with touches of chocolate and, in time, a fungal and mulch note. Palate
Dense again: figgy, chocolate cake, dried Pedro Ximinez/muscatel. Some sulphur. Tannic. Finish
Tarry. Comment
A beast of a dram. Another case of Longmorn versus wood which has been won by the latter.
