Nose
Mint, liquorice, anis, raisins.
Palate
The same components in the flavour. Against a rich, velvety, malt background. Nutty malt flavours, too.
Finish
Faint balancing peat and smoke. Quite long.
Comment
The extra years serve Cutty well. It is confident, expressive, expansive.

Nose
Rich, muscular, sherried nose: liquorice, tar, runny treacle, incense. Water brings a light mintiness with a drift of perfumed smoke.
Palate
Big soft and sweet. Treacle again, this time with cold tea, chocolate orange and beautiful balance between grain and malt.
Finish
Long and soft.
Comment
Cutty with rippling well-oiled muscles. Well done!
