77
- Nose
- Huge, butter-fat oaky notes. Sweet with caramelised fruit sugars, plum jam. Water brings out a candied peel note. Perfumed and slightly minty.
- Palate
- Lots of oak lactone and just enough grip to give structure and interest. Nutty malt and in time a strangely exotic rose petal/angelica flavour.
- Finish
- Floral.
- Comment
- More of a whisky spread than a drink. For those with a sweet tooth.
77
- Nose
- Fruity. Pineapple juice. Spicy. Allspice, cloves. Orange peel. Medicinal like a rum grand arôme. Sandalwood. Very fragrant.
- Palate
- Sweet at start then displaying a sensuous spicy palette. Rum again! Demerara custard.
- Finish
- Tangy, spicy. Lingering.
- Comment
- Quite enticing and heady but so dressed up, and reminiscent of a rum. The cask has knocked the maltiness down.
