75
- Nose
- Intense, waxy and malty. Lemon granité. A medicinal touch. Herbal. Opens on toasted hazelnuts and green tomatoes.
- Palate
- Smooth, thick, rich and coating. Creamy at first (toffee) then getting very peppery.
- Finish
- Very hot with a touch of green oak and almond milk.
- Comment
- Characterful, vivid but not complex. “Tastes” stronger than 40%. A body warmer for cool evenings.
75
- Nose
- Coconut again, but this time shell. Beeswax. Lightly grassy. Light smoke.
- Palate
- Light fruit. Nutty and polished. Smoke is there but not as well knitted as the 12 Years Old.
- Finish
- Short. Smoked.
- Comment
- Just lacks the energy and extra dimension of the 12 Years Old.
