Taster

Nose: Intense. A beautiful display of balsamic scents. Cedar.Pine essence. Freshly polished oak floor. Liquorice root. Pot pourri. Cinnamon tea. Atmospheric

Palate: Soft, silky. Oak prevails but not in an assertive way. Well balanced although it seems to have passed its peak. A certain weakness at mid palate

Finish: Soft, slightly tired.

Comment: A still beautiful dram but it seems to have lost some muscles with the time. The nose remains intriguing and rich.

Score: 8

Palate: Dusty. Cinnamon balls exploding in the mouth. Citrus balanced by deep sweet power, cherry stone and light leather.

Finish: Long. Coconut. Marasco, sweet spice.

Comment: A deeply classy bourbon. Recommended.
