70
- Nose
- Mature. Jammy, stewed fruit but slightly flat. Some currant and shoe polish. In time a mash tun note.
- Palate
- Sweet and honeyed with good depth. Tongue-coating. Oak showing. Hates water.
- Finish
- Short.
- Comment
- The wood has taken charge. Doesn't appear to have the character to carry extended aging.
77
- Nose
- Red apples and dried fruits (apple, coconut and papaya). With water a mustiness comes out, although with a fine oatiness like muesli-dust. Floral too.
- Palate
- A complex mix of fruit, chocolate and lots of wood.
- Finish
- Drying tannins grip to the tongue.
- Comment
- Tannic but pleasant enough old malt.
