80- Nose
- Fruitcake. Faint burnt currants.
- Palate
- Cakey, sherryish, sultanas with a malty, grassy, sweetness.
- Finish
- Peatier than I remember but becomes rich and spicy.
- Comment
- Complex, beautifully rounded and soothing.
Jim Murray
67- Nose
- The sherry is not quite as clean as it might be: also cuts out the more intricate malt notes. Quite doughy.
- Palate
- Good bitter-sweet balance from the off but rather hot and spirity. Again some sherry, fruity notes but not quite as in harmony as you'd expect.
- Finish
- Very dry and slightly bitter. Too much vanilla.
- Comment
- Not a patch on the old style Lochnagar when the bourbon cask was king.
