- Nose
- Big and generous. Shifting into coffee cake with butter icing. Water makes it reminiscent of a bodega then comes mint, citrus zest and in time tanned leather. Grist-like sweetness.
- Palate
- Better grip, some substance and a dried fruit edge along with red liquorice.
- Finish
- Firm, nutty and clean.
- Comment
- Good flow, balance and grip. A powerhouse.
82
- Nose
- Initially rather reticent, with acetone and developing grain giving way to a treacly, slightly smoky note.
- Palate
- Medium-bodied, with a hint of honey, then darker treacle and stewed fruits dominate.
- Finish
- Liquorice and oak – quite lengthy.
- Comment
- A whiskey with complexity, character and some age to it.
