- Nose
- Old oak floor. Antique shop. Varnish and a hint of burnt plastic. Touch of linseed. Nutmeg. Cooked plums. Orange marmalade. Complex.
- Palate
- Assertive bit with a good integration of oak. Layers of liquorice, fruit and toffee lusciously intertwining.
- Finish
- Oaky, bold. Walnut come back.
- Comment
- A muscular yet elegant old malt. Brisk and complex. Alcohol is somewhat insistent.
82
- Nose
- Very precise and biscuity, coal dust, light dried mint then thyme.
- Palate
- A soft smooth flow showing good maturity and complexity. Fine spread of flavours. Caramelised apple.
- Finish
- Long, teasing.
- Comment
- This shows the delicate savoury spiciness of age. Good.
