Nose

Slightly musty, coal-gassy, but with a sultana-currant bun, spotted dick suet doughiness.

Palate

Archetypal Cooley malt intensity which clings to the mouth with a firm, fruity oiliness. One dimensional but rather tasty.

Finish

Some oakiness begins to dry out the proceedings, leaving a vanilla-banana residue. Some caramel and demerara sugar adds a lingering sweetness.

Comment

Hmmm...Not quite up to what it was, but still a pretty interesting and enjoyable dram.
