87
- Nose
- All spice and candied peel and the suggestion of an old whisky that has matured very gently. Very zesty and lively with tingling spice and a heavy floral note like lilies.
- Palate
- Sweet with caramelised sugars and a touch of rosewood. Balanced and discreet. Slightly less direct with water, but has a real subtle depth.
- Finish
- Long with gentle spice.
- Comment
- Elegant and sophisticated.
80
- Nose
- Elegant oaky fragrances. Floor polish, beeswax, sunheated pine cones. Fruity notes slowly emerge. Pears in custard. Greengage.
- Palate
- Rich, smooth at start then becoming crisp. With a spicy outburst and a sherbety feel. Oak is present. Custard and liquorice.
- Finish
- Spicy with an oaky bite.
- Comment
- A wonderful nose, a dash of water cuts the edges. Complex and harmonious.
