Tasting Notes

Nose

Haunting and clearly ancient, earthy yet amazingly fresh. Perfumed and exotic: hair oil, wax, bread & butter pudding, some sultana but also vestigial smoke, mixed with light tropical fruits. Rancio.

Palate

No water is needed. Deep and lightly burnt. Highland toffee cut with dried soft fruits. Mysterious, with hints of oak and hawthorn berries. Elegant and layered.

Finish

Lengthy moving into leather.

Comment

Quite magnificent.
