- Sweet. oak, spices try to calm it down.
- Comment
- Quite an assertive blend. The nose delivers to the palate but it tastes older than 15 years.

- Nose
- Clover honey, vanilla, cooked pear moving into caramelised fruits and peat smoke balanced by toasty oak. There's some very old whiskies in here.
- Palate
- Sweet and "sherried", but with good grip. Ripe. Balanced between sweetness, richness, oak, fruit and spice.
- Finish
- Long and ripe.
- Comment
- This is great blending. Top flight stuff.
