Cedar. Leather. Linseed.
Palate
Buttery, nutty. Emphatic milk chocolate. Developing a gentle, toasted-almond dryness.
Finish
Firm. Soothing.
Comment
Black Barrel with more age, more wood.

Nose
Lush with vanilla, sweet nuts and caramelised fruits: baked banana, orange, fenugreek leaves. Water brings out complex, spicy oak-derived tones; plum, coffee, butterscotch Angel Delight.
Palate
Rich, soft and chewy. Cream toffee, berry fruits, spiced oaky flavours.
Finish
Big and rounded.
Comment
A very elegant dram which demonstrates (as do many of the others) just how great grain whisky can be.
