Nose
Very aromatic. Flowery. Nuts. Marzipan. Palate
Light-bodied but very fruity indeed. Reminiscent of fruitcake with candied orange peels. Finish
Light, clean. Vanilla pods. Comment
Easy drinking, but worth more than a moment’s thought.

Nose
Rich and deep. Leather armchairs, walnut, dark fruit and tobacco. Oaky as it opens. Palate
Big and thick. Starts sweetly with a gingery lift. Great balance between old scuffed leather, nutty toffee and spicy rye. Finish
Long if a little woody. Comment
A great old-style sippin’ bourbon and a great base for an Old Fashioned
