82
- Nose
- Slightly smoky. Char. Oak. Leather. Tightly combined aromas and flavours.
- Palate
- Dry maltiness. Raisins. Fruitiness. Fudge. A hint of dusty chocolate.
- Finish
- Fruity, sappy.
- Comment
- Slightly austere and cerebral. One to sip while watching a video of an art-house movie.
87
- Nose
- Spicier than 101 but with weight and fragrance. As it opens (and it needs time) out come classic WT notes: ripe fruits, rich dark honey, with added cigar box, leather, peach, honeysuckle.
- Palate
- A little more wood than 101 but balanced. Chewy weight with an extra layer of dried spice: garam masala.
- Finish
- Long and rich.
- Comment
- A complex, serious, sipping bourbon.
