Nose
Wheaty, nutty. Bananas? Palate
Buttered toast. Molasses. Maple syrup. Finish
Clean, dryish, flapjack. Comment
Beautifully structured. Tightly combined flavours. Every bit as smooth as it claims to be.
Jim Murray
Nose
Aroma with delightful strands of exotic fruit and honey. Fruit cake. Oak adds to feeling of class. Palate
Lush, pleasingly deep and malty. A firm nuttiness adds extra oily, chewability to the toffee. Finish
Drier than of old. Caramel toffee with the oak guarantees a bittersweet edge. Comment
An old faithful of a bourbon. Never lets you down and being from the wheaty school always shows good oak balance. Nose is to die for.
