Tasting Notes

Nose

Everything here is pastel-shaded: flowers, Edinburgh rock, apple cake, grass, ginger. Well balanced. Highly oily, suggesting good age almost into varnish, old book shop, dried fruit, beeswax.

Palate

A little disappointing after such an excellent nose. Like many old whiskies it has a fragility to it. Tannins a little high. The fungal depth of old Cognac.

Finish

Long, tannic then fades quickly.

Comment

Highly perfumed. This needs time to open. Worth a look. Good price!
