- Malty and citrussy. Candied lemon. Opening on more fruit. Redcurrant jelly,a touch of blackcurrant. getting toffeish. Quite complex.
- Palate
- Lusciously flowing on the tongue. An outburst of passion fruit and
black currant in a spicy syrup.
- Finish
- Warm,vibrant,spicy with a malty aftertaste.
- Comment
- Rich and complex old fellow. Has kept all his buoyancy and liveliness. So different from the previous one (Tomatin 1967).
