Nose
Very aromatic; hay, grass and peat.
Palate
Lovely balance of sugared almonds, syrup, a hint of orange-zest, grass and peat.
Finish
Light, soft, warming. Deceptively long.
Comment
Lots of flavour development. I enjoyed this one.

Nose
Deep sweetish sherry, just a hint of smoke and old leather; and a very healthy, rich maltiness.
Palate
An awesome, oily wave of sweet sherry-malt intensity. Fabulous complexity.
Finish
Rich chocolate notes, lightly metallic finale.
Comment
Astonishing for a Speysider of such antiquity. First class complexity with no over-ageing.
