Nose
Hint of lemon marmalade. Palate
Light but creamy. Lightly nutty. Then oily perfuminess. Finish
Oily. Nutty. Orange peel. Comment
Gentle, but quite succulent.
Jim Murray
Nose
Fabulously bitter sweet nose, breakfast time stuff with marmalade and honey. Thrilling complexity. Palate
Again, a peculiarly thin mouthfeel. Begins oaky dry and then a surge of malt helps sweeten things a little. And a delightful spice buzz forms a permanent, lively strata. Finish
A milky oakiness with dry coconut nuttiness. Comment
An improvement from the 17 Years Old of old, which doesn't even begin to show its big age.
