Nose

An extraordinarily delicate smokiness, boasting soft, plummy fruit and a gristy maltiness.

Palate

Bigger than the nose suggests: peat runs before everything else in between sweet maltiness.

Finish

Chewy, vanilla-rich, kippery, buttery, still gristy and a little young but wonderfully long.

Comment

A cask well worth keeping back to see in the new century. And, as a 9 Years Old, proves that youth can conquer over age. Spectacular.
