78
- Nose
- Quite slick and sweet. Upfront. Toffee bars. Gentle smooth and appetising with light oakiness licking at the outer edges. Fresh cigar (unlit).In time becomes more rigid and angular
- Palate
- Clean and nuttier than expected from such a lush nose. hazelnut. mature mellow oak. Chewy and long
- Finish
- Honey and caramel
- Comment
- Maybe lacks the extra spark that makes it complex but a delicious sweet dram nonetheless
78
- Nose
- Restrained if not bland. Pleasant fruitiness. Autumn fruit. Over-ripe pears,medlars. Almonds
- Palate
- Smooth,velvety. A pleasant interlace of fruit and oak,covered by a veil of softspices
- Finish
- Reasonably long,spicy with a nutty aftertaste
- Comment
- A well structured old lad but it seems to have lost some vigour. The palate is still vivid but the nose is weakening
