Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Antique gold to deep amber, extraordinary depth from 38 years of maturation
Nose
Herbs and spices — menthol, liquorice, rosemary, allspice. Black cherry, blackcurrants, mango, orange peel. Antique furniture, delicate wood resin, linseed from decades in oak
Palate
Tropical and fleshy fruits intermingling with luscious smooth waves of vanilla and chocolate. Soft oak tannins enhancing pot still spices — black peppercorns, freshly picked garden mint, mild ginger spice
Finish
Lingering, with spices eventually fading, leaving fruits and oak the final word. Extraordinary poise and elegance for its age
