75
- Nose
- Hazelnuts, dark chocolate, tropical fruit. With water up came some aloe vera with peaches.
- Palate
- Peaches and sweet mint and lots of American oak.
- Finish
- Like sucking an apricot stone: fruity, woody and bitter of the year.
- Comment
- Good dram, lacked the greatness you'd hope for with such age.
80
- Nose
- Intense. Amaretto, cherry stone, pine, light rye dustiness, bitter chocolate, spiced buns. Wood oil, into varnish, citrus zest and firmness.
- Palate
- Clean and precise with good grip. The chocolate reappears alongside some tobacco, then masses of spice, maraschino, caraway, rye.
- Finish
- Tinned cling peaches, oak.
- Comment
- A well-balanced slightly lighter style of Turkey, but another finer addition to the range.
