72
- Nose
- More distillery character in that touch of smokiness. Slightly vegetal.
- Palate
- Creamier. Apricot. Seville orange peels. Orange-and-ginger marmalade. Very expressive.
- Finish
- Spicy. Dusty. Like powdered nutmeg or cinnamon.
- Comment
- The flavours hang together better in this version, and I favour it over the port finish, but by too narrow a margin to score.
67
- Nose
- Full sherry notes: roasted almond/dry amontillado. Rich and generous with fruity malt behind smoky wood.
- Palate
- Nutty, raisined, sultana flavours dominate. Sweet and chewy yet nutty.
- Finish
- The sherry softens slightly.
- Comment
- Drier and nuttier than the port, but again the finish is in charge.
