80- Nose
- Rummy cake. Hints of banana. Restrained sherry.
- Palate
- Sweeter, spicier cake (more gingery). Very rich and long. Good balance of dry smokiness.
- Finish
- Very distinct black treacle. Toasted nuts. Burnt crust on a cake.
- Comment
- Has matured superbly. I love the interplay of sweet and fruity, hot and dry. The orange colour distinguishes this from Signatory's earlier bottling.
Jim Murray
87- Nose
- Ripe, rich and clean, honey and kumquats take a delicious centre stage.
- Palate
- Immensely intense, the honey malt has first say before oak crushes all in its path. Miraculously, the malt re-emerges rich, biscuity and better than ever before.
- Finish
- Rumbling oak after-shocks do little to hamper the honeyed barley. Stunning.
- Comment
- It has been 20 years since I came across a BA this fine. There is an after life...
