85
- Nose
- Layered and complex. Murray mint, stewed fruit. Water brings toffee, scented wood, vanilla pod. Deepens to treacle toffee, a lift of ginger biscuits, and dried peach. Elegant.
- Palate
- Everything on the nose plus an added spiciness dried flower, Turkish delight, hot pine.
- Finish
- Long slightly oaked but still fresh.
- Comment
- A dazzling quality you only get when cask and spirit have been in a long slow dance.
85
- Nose
- Ripe melons and sultanas. Sawdust and a lightly antiseptic Savlon note. With a little more time mango, white chocolate and a lemon butter icing.
- Palate
- Raisins, lemon biscuits and a toasty oakiness that is almost lightly medicinal.
- Finish
- Spicy oak.
- Comment
- Elegant, complex and satisfying.
