80
- Nose
- Rich and ripe, with some dark (cooked) black fruit. Raisin, cocoa, praline, coconut. Substantial smooth succulence.
- Palate
- Sweet start then it firms up in the centre where the nuts return melting into the chocolate and raisin. Chewy and tongue coating. Showing some complexity.
- Finish
- Long, sweet.
- Comment
- Beautifully balanced.
82
- Nose
- Baked apples and spicy malt. A pleasingly mature character to it.
- Palate
- Big bodied, slightly oily, with nutmeg and red wine. Sophisticated and assured.
- Finish
- Notably long, drying with dark syrup and liquorice notes.
- Comment
- A confident whiskey that feels as though it has some age to it.
