84- Nose
- Sweet. Honeycomb and a lightly waxy character. Sweet apple,ripe pear and orange zest. Shows complexity and needs water where a delicious caramelised banana comes through, custard as well.
- Palate
- Silky and soft with butterscotch and honeyed notes. Good energy. Good balance. Some tropical fruit notes some citrus zest and a hint of malt and oak giving structure.
- Finish
- Honey and then tobacco.
- Comment
- Balanced, integrated and complex.

- Delicate,perfumy.Cooked fruit. Pear and apple compote. A hint of chestnut purée. Develops on fudgy notes. A floral touch. Freesia. With water, almond and vanilla.
- Palate
- Round, velvety. Quite thick. Sweet apple juice and ginger ale. A touch of praline. Lovely feel.
- Finish
- Smooth, gently spicy.
- Comment
- A satisfying dram. Very smooth and well-balanced. Oak is melting with fruit. More character without water.
